This is on behalf of a friend who is looking for an online MBA program. His criteria look like this: Cheap (less than about $13000 tuition) RA Pretty much in that order. Strong preference for a school with a physical campus. I have suggested that he look at Bellevue University and Baker College. CSU DH is not a good fit for him because while he does have an undergraduate business degree it is more than 10 years old and this leads to the qualifying program which increases cost and time to gain the degree. Amberton is not good for him because they will not consider him with a Canadian undergraduate degree (he checked). He might look at overseas programs, but the preference is for US based. If there are any schools that fit this profile besides Bellevue and Baker he'd be pleased to know. I haven't been able to come up with any others. Thanks
From BA-in 4 weeks (partially back up) http://bain4weeks.com/mastermenu.html Two of the lowest cost in the US are Amberton ($7,000) http://www.amberu.edu/MDegrees.HTM#general%20business and CSU Domingues Hills ($9,000) http://mbaonline.csudh.edu/programs.asp
Already ruled those two out? What does he expect? If those two or ruled out then he may have to settle for a nationally accredited degree (such as Ashworth) or skip over "MBA" and pick up "MLS" from the likes of Fort Hays State.
Just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything! Seriously, though, thanks for the feedback. I will, however. recommend that my friend check CSU DH again, as it is a bit less expensive than I thought, so the qualifying program may not be a killer if he's willing to put in the exra time. Amberton is ruled out because basically they don't accept non US undergraduate degrees.
Hunh? Ruled them out? They are both online, RA, and well under $13k! I guess that limits his choices to: Baker College Bellevue University Brenau University Central Michigan University Colorado State University Davenport University Online Florida Institute of Technology Golden Gate University Indiana Wesleyan University (Center for Distributed Learning) Lehigh University Mercy College Salve Regina University Seton Hall University Strayer University University of Dallas University of Illinois University of Massachusetts Amherst University of Phoenix Online Campus University of St. Francis The University of Texas System University of the Incarnate Word University of Wyoming Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Walden University Worcester Polytechnic Institute Ball State University Capella University Capitol College Colorado Christian University Drexel University (Lifelong Learning) Florida International University James Madison University Madonna University Mississippi State University New York University (School of Continuing and Professional Studies) Nova Southeastern University (H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship) Oklahoma State University Pfeiffer University Philadelphia University State University of West Georgia Texas Woman's University Troy State University Dothan University of Baltimore The University of Findlay University of Houston–Victoria University of Maryland University College University of North Alabama University of North Dakota The University of Tennessee at Martin University of Wisconsin–Platteville (Distance Learning Center) Valdosta State University Webster University Western New England College
University of Wyoming MBA The University of Wyoming is moving its DL (previously video and tele-conference based, and only available in Wyoming) MBA program to a web-based format available nationwide starting this fall. The UW MBA is AACSB accredited and regionally accredited, and as a UW Business Admin undergrad (graduating this August), I will vouch that the school's courses are both rigorous and relevant to someone who wants a better understanding of business and management. The program's tution will not be announced until the curriculum is finalized in May. However, other graduate programs at UW have a $142 per credit hour tuition, plus online courses delivered by eCollege.com usually carry a $40 per credit hour technology fee. At $182 per credit hour times the expected 36 hours for a masters, I would imagine the degree will cost around $6552, which looks to be well within the budget you specified. The director of the MBA program at UW is Dr. Kenton Walker.You can reach him via e-mail at [email protected], or by telephone at (307)766-2449, or toll-free at (800)448-7801. Good luck in your search for an MBA program!
University of Nebraska-Lincoln You should consider the University of Nebraska-Lincoln at $250/credit. http://mba.unl.edu/distance.html
