    Mt Olive College, a small liberal arts school is now offering an MBA degree 100% online: Online Education | Mount Olive College. The program is ACBSP and SACS accredited. I am currently an adjunct for MOC at one of their satellite campuses, its a fairly decent school that has grown quite large in eastern North Carolina, so large in fact that the college will soon change it's name to the University of Mt Olive.

    Thanks for sharing and for the disclosure of your affiliation.

    It looks like we are running out of schools in the world that DON'T offer an online MBA. There is good and bad to that fact. At a glance, what makes this one stand out are that, if I understand what I'm reading correctly, that the classes are self-paced, cost $410/credit and that MOC is a "Christian" school. It sounds to me like it just might fill a niche.

    Correct, MOC is affiliated with the Convention of Free Will Baptists.

    Are the courses self paced?

    I was able to find out the answer for you from the program admissions counselor:

    "Flexibility and Speed: The courses in the MBA program are 100% online without structured meeting times, so you can work on your degree anytime and anywhere. Courses are generally seven weeks long, with two courses in the program consisting of fourteen weeks. Students who attend full-time can complete the program in one year. The program can be taken on a part-time basis if needed for greater work, family, or career balance. Part-time students can complete the program in two years".

    Here is some tuition information:

    "The program consists of ten courses for students who have earned a bachelor’s degree in business or a related field. (Note: Applicants with degrees in non-business fields will be individually evaluated and may require additional courses before entering the MBA program. UMO anticipates offering these additional, foundational courses beginning spring 2015).

    Tuition and Payment Options

    The current tuition for the program is $500 per credit hour and there are 30 semester hours in the degree, provided no additional courses are required, allowing you to earn your degree for $15,000 in tuition costs".
