looking for an MBA with a concentration in Marketing

I'm an excelsior graduate, magna cum laude. I've been working in marketing and print design for the past 3 years.
I'm 23 and looking to continue on to a distance learning MBA. I'm not a believer in student loans, I've put aside around $10,000 for this purpose.
I was looking into AJU- I'm a little hesitant about their NA status and their reputation.
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas? and if there are any programs that award scholarships?

Thank you,
Kaya

 

A good starting point is probably GetEducated.com's list of "best buys" in online MBAs (that are AACSB accredited):

http://www.geteducated.com/online-college-ratings-and-rankings/best-buy-lists/best-buy-online-masters-mba-aacsb

Not sure which of these offer marketing concentrations, you'll have to investigate. Depending on where you live some of these programs are relatively inexpensive.

 

I am enrolled in the MBA program at American Public University. It is $275.00 a credit hour ($9900 not including books). Most of their business courses start every month and they just added Marketing as a concentration this year. My only problem with them is they don't have a lot of Grad level marketing courses yet, just 3 or 4. But, if you are looking for an MBA with just a concentration in marketing it is fine. I hope they will offer an MS in Marketing soon with a lot more marketing courses to choose from.

I'm taking a look at it thank you.

 

I'm noticing that NA degrees are at times more focused.
Do you know of any RA MBAs with a concentration in marketing.

 

Northcentral University MBA in marketing

TUI University MBA in marketing

Walden University MBA in marketing

Argosy University MBA in marketing

And many others. I just got tired of looking.

Good luck,

I forgot about AMU. That's probably the biggest bang for your buck too.

Are you looking for any specific business accreditations?

 

There may be some offered here:

This is for real - I've been communicating with one of the schools.

 

Auburn apparently offers an online option. They began a program to grow the presence/national reputation of the business school last year. Might be something worth considering.

Do you mind if I ask what your GMAT score was?

 

This thread http://forums.degreeinfo.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27695 might be a good starting point.

Just a thought, but AMU accepts 15 transfer credits into their graduate programs. You could take 15 credit hours at AJU for about $400 per semester with their sponsored tuition program, and then transfer to AMU to complete your MBA. That would save you quite a bit of cash, and since AMU is both NA and RA, they would likely take all of your AJU credit and you would end up with a RA MBA.
