    So, here is my dilemma-work full time, wife, kids, activities, need online MBA. I currently work in management and have for 18 years. I recently actually completed my bachelors degree in science (as this was the quickest means to an end) in just one semester-graduating in June of 2011. This earned me a big promotion and pay increase to the mid 60's range. I quickly set my sights on what a Master's degree could do for me.

    I need an online program that isn't going to break the bank, I don't want to take the GRE or any other entrance exam as I am just not that great at those kinds of tests. I don't know how important it is to have an AACSB school, but for me I don't imagine it is too important, although regionally accredited I believe is very important. I have done some research on MSM's as well and really like the online MBA leadership degree at Saint Joseph's College in Maine. Any input on this school, or other similar programs that meet my above requirements? Thanks in advance.

    NCU's MBA costs $18,500 and is at your own pace, regionally and ACBSP accredited and offers weekly start dates.
    I just finished my 7th course and have 3 left to go. I highly recommend it if you are not hung up on a top tier school or require a lot of hand holding. The courses are heavily research focused and require a good bit of writing. You are pretty much on your own during the courses so if that is a problem, do not enroll.

    It does require the GMAT (although not a very high standard for minimum score), but Fitchburg State University in Massachusetts offers a very low-cost online MBA that's only 30 credits and is both RA and IACBE accredited;

    They have super low tuition and high per credit fees. I wonder why they structure their costs that way?
    When I saw the $150 per graduate credit hour I was excited, and then I saw the fees that push it over $300 per hour. Still not bad though.
