SAN DIEGO -- A local man said he is two classes away from getting his master's degree, but it isn't for health care management like he signed up for, 10News reported.

After a year of studies at the University of Phoenix, Luis Rodriguez is closer to getting a master's degree he never signed up for. When he enrolled at the school, he said he applied for a Master of Business Administration in health care management. However, he recently learned he's only receiving a standard MBA.

"I've been in health care for many years. I want to continue working in health care and grow in the industry," said Rodriguez.

He said an academic advisor picked the classes he was taking. He also said he was told the master's degree programs are very similar, and towards the end he would take classes in health care.

"So you didn't take any health care classes at all?" asked 10News' Alejandra Cerball.

"No, none. I was waiting for towards the end of program like enrollment advisor said," Rodriguez said.

The university gave Rodriguez two options: take the last two classes and get his degree or take five more classes and get the health care degree he was hoping for.

Rodriguez said the situation is not fair.

"They offered for me to take the right classes, but that would put me back another year. Don't see why I would do that if it wasn't my mistake," said Rodriguez.

Late Wednesday, the school sent Rodriguez an e-mail that stated: "We have determined that you are indeed owed a waiver of all tuition and resource fees billed for your MBA to date. In addition, we will waive future tuition and resource fees required to complete the MBAHCM program."

10News confirmed the offer with the school, and Rodriguez said he is going to finish this degree and continue with his studies.
