    I have a co-worker that wants to use her 8,000 tuition reimbursement this year and is looking for an MBA, MS Management, MS Marketing, that is RA, non-aacsb and also offers federal financial aid (rules out Amberton).

    Any thoughts?

    I believe chadron state college may fit the bill. Tuition for this 36 credit hour ACBSP accredited program hovers at $7200. Chadron offers federal financial aid.

    The OP asked for non-AACSB and JSU is AACSB. Also, if you meet the pre-reqs (business degree or undergraduate business classes completed) the online MBA program at JSU is 30 credits, 5-6 semesters (10 courses, 2 per semester, depending on availability) and $225/hour ($6750).

    Personally, I think based on all of my research JSU is the best bet for anyone looking for an inexpensive AACSB MBA program. They are ranked in the top 10% of business schools by Princeton Review (#2 Program for Women).

    MA in Management (Global Business Management), University of Alabama, 30 hours, $278/hr, $8,340 total tuition, which comes out to a little over $8K.

    MS in Operations Management, University of Alabama, 30 hours, see above.

    Why in the world would someone want a non-AACSB program when an AACSB program is available at the same price?

    Cameron University's online MBA is around $8300. If you have a background in business then some courses can be waived and you only have to take 33 semester credit hours. A non business major has to take 45 semester credit hours. The school is SACS accredited and has ACBSP accreditation. And yes I am partial to the school, I started off in the MBA program there, but switched to the MS in Entrepreneurial Studies which is also available online.

    I have no idea, but that's what the OP asked for. Too bad, cause CoachTurner is right on the money with JSU.

    I took the OP to mean that AACSB isn't a requirement and that he expected a cost savings with non-AACSB. I can't imagine an instance where being AACSB creates the deal breaker when cost is equal. I may be wrong though. ☺

    The only instance I can think of is if most AACSB schools accept AACSB graduate course transfers only. JSU's policy is as such.

    I believe one will find this to be a standard policy at all AACSB schools that accept transfer credit. As another example, East Carolina University (another AACSB school that might meet the OP's needs, by the way) lets MBA graduates into the certificate programs that make up its MBA concentrations, but only those with degrees from AACSB schools.
