I'm not. Back in the late 90's/early 2000s, when you signed up for the EBS MBA program, they sent you the material along with a paper exam registration form. As long as you didn't complete the form, the course was essentially transferable. Some students who opted not to complete the program ended up selling their courses on eBay. I purchased 2 courses this way for about half what the university charged at the time. With online exam registration, that is no longer an option. Also, back when the Financial Times was publishing the EBS material, they sometimes offered a "buy 2 get one free" and other deals. Between eBay, the "coupons" from the Financial Times, I spent around $5,000 for the MBA. With the money I had left over, I decided to move to Edinburgh and take some courses on campus.
