    This will be my only post on this as I am told posting here is not a 'professional educator' activity. A lot of degreeinfo folks were involved in this in secret. Thank you all it took three years to get this in place after my last gig took some unexpected turns.

    That's a great find! I already hold a masters in management (aviation). Would it be worthwhile to get a MBA to add to my portfolio? I considered the Apollos University DBA because it is so inexpensive and my tuition reimbursement would cover it. Perhaps a DBA is overkill but sounds like the next logical step.

    Milestone: 1000th post and 10 years with DI. Thanks for putting up with me over the years!

    Well, I'm glad you did -- it's obviously relevant and it's very exciting news. Congratulations!

    Okay this is good news another low cost option. I remember talking to you a couple years ago and you came away as a straight shooter and gave me some good advice. It seems you have been busy I thought you gave up. :)

    This is remarkable. I'm the guy who is supposed to know everything, and I'd not heard of this. If marketed well, it could be a real game-changer in the MBA world. Thanks for sharing, Abner.

    ILM has been DETC-accredited for non-degree studies for a long time. As of December 2013, it is now accredited to offer degree programs. The Provost of ILM is Dr. David Lady, formerly of DETC and subsequently AIMS. He is well-known to long-timers on this board - and that's said as a good thing. :smile:

    Starting from scratch, a student could earn a Bachelor's in Business from University of the People ($4,000) and an MBA from ILM ($3,000) - two accredited US degrees for a total investment of $7,000! :smile:

    Hey dlady, are you pursuing the Doctor of Arts degree at Harrison Middleton university? If so, tell me about it. I was looking at it and it sounds pretty interesting. Give a good synopsis of the program. If your not in it then please disregard this email.

    Randomly checked out for this post and I have to admit that it actually sounds really interesting...
    Not sure Online MBAs are made for me, I am afraid I wouldn't succeed in working on my own without anybody looking out for what I do on a regular basis.
    Anyway, well done Dr. Lady!

    Congratulations! Very affordable program. It will meet the needs of some students out there and will not saddle them with huge student loans. Well done. Hopefully, people in the program will post.
