Cheapest MBA Degree

Could you please recommend the most cheapest and accrediated MBA degree apart from William Howard Taft University.

Kizmet, now dont say this post as scam. I am highly interested to study.

 

It all depends on which level of accreditation you require. Are you OK with DETC accreditation or do you need to have regional accreditation?

fatu - How could you even dream that I'd say such a thing?:firedevil:

You need to ask a better question though. Cheapest MBA from the USA? RA? DETC? Does it matter? The absolute cheapest MBA is going to come from South Africa, Malaysia or maybe India.

 

The cheapest regionally accredited MBAs I have found are Amberton and Wayne State.

Wayne State: $6,750
Amberton: $8,460

 

The best bang for your money in my opinion is not a DETC degree but an MBA from an UK University.
The Heriot Watt MBA is very affordable because is based on examinations only.
You also have many top up MBAs like the one below that can be completed for less than 5K once you earn a diploma in management by examination like the one from ABE

With so many options to earn a recognized MBA from a UK University for less than 10K, I don't see the reason to get one from a DETC school.

None of these options are easy but quite affordable.

 

Thanks Everyone.

Actually, i am pretty comfortable with DETC too.

The problem with Malaysia is that the Open University Malaysia has ceased enrollment for International Students? IGNOU, India doest have a regional centre in Pakistan.

So what options then i am left out with ;-(

 

Maybe I'm missing it, but this doesn't look like a distance learning program.

 

Top up MBAs only require a dissertation so although not advertised as distance, they are distance in the sense that you are not required to take any course work. You might be required to attend a seminar for a week or two by some Universities but most dissertations can be done distance.


ABE graduate diplomas give access to many top up MBAs.

Association of Business Executives (ABE) - International Business Courses and Qualifications - Qualifications - Business Management - Postgraduate Diploma


The cost of this route is really cheap compared to traditional online courses from online schools.

However, these exams are by no means easy. Go this way if you are good at testing.

The UK is the best for distance education in my opinion, you can finish from a high school diploma to an MBA for less than 10K.
You can continue later with DL DBAs from many top UK schools.

I believe that a recognized UK school has a lot more use that a DETC degree but this is just a personal opinion.

 

The MBA from eastern new mexico u was under 5k

 

AACSB accredited online MBA Programs:

University of Louisiana-Monroe: $203.79 /credit hr. x 30 = $6,114 (out-of-state fees are waived for the online degree student)
ULM's Gateway to Online Degrees (GOLD): The Master of Business Administration (MBA)
http://www.ulm.edu/controller/sas/springfees2012.pdf

Southwest Missouri State: $8,234 (for MO residents / $14,173 for everyone else)
Online MBA, Southeast Missouri State University

University of S. Dakota: $11,123 (in-state tuition for all distance students)
Online MBA - USD

University of N. Dakota: $11,467 (in-State tuition regardless of residency)
Master of Business Administration (MBA) | Online & Distance Education

 

The chart says graduate tuition is $456 per credit hour, which would make this program $13,680.

 

Only if you are a NM resident.

 

Not if one takes 12-hours and above (e.g., the per graduate credit tuition & required fees rate decreases: re 2012 SPRING SEMESTER FEES - GRADUATE STUDENTS)! The tuition rate would be as originally posted … $203.79 per graduate credit hour (e.g., $2445.45 divided by 12) x 30 hours … AND would still equal $6,113.70.

I've seen this stated over and over again, but ULM only offers 2 courses or 6 MBA Grad credits per term. http://www.ulm.edu/schedule/spring12/2012SpringGOLD.pdf
You can't take 12+ or even 9+ credit hours per term.

 

I think that cheapest could be William Howard Taft University for $ 3950 or else from India Online Education | Online degree Programs in India | Don Bosco University | DBU Global

 

They extend in state tuition as long as you take a max of 2 courses per semester. Its around $6k for tuition

 

Thanks for posting the Spring 2012 (Gold) schedule of classes; and as you mention, ULM-Gold program is only offering 2-MBA courses (5030 INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS and 5039 STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT) for the in progress semester (Spring 2012). If as you write … this two course (6-hours) offering limit per semester is a regularity within the ULM-Gold MBA program, and 12-hours or more is never available during any academic semester; the tuition and required fees for the online MBA would increase to $1,536.45 for 6-hours (e.g., $256.07 per graduate credit hour X 30 = $7,682.25 for the AACSB accredited MBA). Even at $7,682.25 (vs. $6,114), are you familiar with a current lesser cost AACSB MBA program offered elsewhere?

 

If you take 6 credits or less per term, you are charged in state tuition (which is currently only $190.27/credit). That said, the total cost of the online ENMU MBA program is $5708.

ENMU is regionally accredited. Their MBA program holds ACBSP programmatic accreditation.

 

Chadron State has a pretty affordable MBA (under 10K if I remember correctly). They also allow you to "test out" of the pre-reqs through an organization called Peregrine. If you fail to test out...they allow you to remediate through the same group....a good choice if you don't have all the classes you need going in.
