thanks friends,for ur responses.

 

Well, you're Asian? Well, I asume you're not American or Asian-American. Therefore, if you're a foreigner; I would recommend for National Accredited school is good enough. So, Andrew Jackson University's with sponsored tuition is perfect fit your category.

Tuition: $0.00
University adminission fee, Proctor Exam fee, Textbooks fee are applied.

Another one is Aspen University; they usually have the $4,500.00 paid up front promotion deal.

Before going with a DETC university like Aspen or AJU I highly recommend contacting the department of education in your country. They usually have lists or websites about which foreign Universities are seen equal to the country's standard. Where I'm living Universities without at least a regional accreditation are not seen as that and I don't think you want to invest $4000-5000 on a not officially white-listed degree.

hi,buddy,thanks for ur link about AJU,i really found it interesting.have u any idea tht non US citizens n non US residents r also eligible for this sponsored degree programme.Any further comment ll be highly appreciated.

 

Have you looked at Open University of Maylaysia (OUM)?
They offer an MBA program but you would have to contact them for DL availability and tuition fees:

You may find that the admissions standards at OUHK are a bit exclusive. I believe that you need to be either living in that country or you must be a citizen of that country living abroad. That may or may not describe your current situation. If you discover that this is incorrect I would appreciate your letting us know.

 

hi,everone,thanks for the feedback.Well as far as University of Hong Kong I m no longer interested in it as their programme s quite lenghty also its expensive than AJU.Guys i m interested in AJU n currently communicating with them regarding adm requirements .It may take a little long for me to get enrolled as i need to get my foreign degree evaluated n take IELTS/TOEFL b4 taking admission.Any one ving experience of studying at AJU ?any comments ll be highly welcomed.I would alke to thank again all the members who ve n r contributing towards this forum.Wow! this forum has been a great help for me.

 

hi,everyone,as i ve earlier mentioned tht i an Asian(Pakistani) currently working in Gulf.I m interested in taking MBA prog. of AJU which s national accredited n not regionally accredited in US.I dnt ve any knowledge abt difference between Regionally VS nationally accredited universities in US.Can any one throw some light on it?secondly i might move to Canada in future as i ve many relatives there,can a degree from AJU will help me to get a job in Canada or even USA.Also can a degree from AJU can help me to get a visa such as H1B for US.I mean do employers accept n recognize qualifications from national accredited universities? especially when they r gained online.All concerned n useful suggestions ll be welcomed.

 

The Low-Down on Regional Accreditation & National Accreditation

School recognition in the United States is a complex affair. First, there is state approval/authorization/accreditation/licensure/recognition/registration. This is what a school needs in order to be operating legally. The problem is that with 50 different states and 50 different sets of state licensing laws, the quality control from the state licensure can very quite wildly. There is only one state, New York, whose approval process rises to the level of recognized accreditation. Others may have some quality control built in, but do not rise to the level of recognized accreditation. And yet others are mere "rubber stamp" processes which are no more rigorous than obtaining a business license. For that reason, you have accreditation. Now, in order to determine whether an accreditator is legitimate, you check whether they are recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation www.chea.org and/or the United States Department of Education www.ed.gov/ops . Now, you have three types of recognized accreditation: regional accreditation, national accreditation, and professional accreditation. The regional accreditators are much older than the national accreditors. The regional accreditors divided the country (USA) into six different regions (Middle States, New England, North Central, Northwestern, Southern, and Western) and have been accrediting academic programs up to the doctorate from the beginning of their existence. The national accreditors each have the whole country (USA) as their purview, but accredit specific types of schools (Distance Education, Independent Colleges & Schools). The national accreditors are much younger than the regional accreditors and started out accrediting lower-level programs (get your high school diploma at home, one-year certificates and two-year associate's degrees in career & technical fields) long before they began accrediting bachelor's & master's programs; only very recently has the Distance Education and Training Council gotten the authority to accredit professional doctorates. This is why the regional accreditors see themselves as more prestigious than the national accreditors. On top of regional accreditation, there is professional accreditation. Professional accreditors, instead of accrediting entire schools, accredit programs within schools. For example, if you wish to know not just whether you have a good school, but whether that school has a good business program, you would look to see whether they are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business or the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs. The AACSB focuses on schools that emphasize research while the ACBSP focuses on schools that emphasize teaching. That's what little I know. Hope this helps.

 

Dear Ted,thanks very much for ur detailed reply.I always knew tht Americans r always helpful n u ve proven it.
Yes i understand better now if not all, regarding American accreditation system but i ll be highly pleased if u or some other one could give me any idea abt how successsful these online degrees gained from Nationally accredited universities,are in getting good jobs in North America(Canada n US).I mean will the employers recognize n consider these type of qualifications,especially from Andrew Jackson University .Also can these degrees used to apply for work visas to US or Canada such as H1B.I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of this forum who ve contributed towards this topic.
