Another inexpensive RA DL MBA school.

http://www.mum.edu/cont_ed/dmba.html and its RA.
Individual course tuition fee is $275 per unit of credit.

 

Thank for the info.

I checked out the website. Just a quick scan and I counted over 30 faculty members who were once students. Should that be a concern?

However, the web site says that the tuition and fees for 44 weeks for a U.S. Graduate Students excluding room & board is $24,030.

The website also states that the "MBA degree requires 84 units of coursework which can be completed in 2 years of full-time study. For students with a prior degree in a business related field, up to half of these units may[/B} be waived by the MBA Director. The minimum units taken from Maharishi University of Management for an MBA degree is 42."

I was also confused about this statement.

Students can take Master of Business Administration courses as independent study select a course from our list below of videotaped MBA courses start the course at a convenient time
study at your own pace under the guidance of a professor
Students will view videotaped lectures and complete assignments from the faculty using textbooks and printed material available on the Internet. Successfully completed courses are transferrable to the MBA degree at Maharishi University of Management if you meet the requirements for entering into the degree program. You may also transfer credits to another university, but you will need to check with the Admissions Office.

I am going to contact the admission office for more claification.



Room and Board $5,200

Seeing that all or most of an institution's faculty have advanced degrees from that institution is one factor that can be a cause for concern.

In this case, I'd consider that the Maharishi University of Management was founded on principles of Transcendental Meditation. Just as I wouldn't be surprised to find many faculty with degrees from Jesuit schools at a Jesuit school, I'm not surprised to see many TM-educated faculty at a TM-based school. And many do come from MUM (formerly known as MIU -- Maharishi International University). How many TM-based schools are there to choose from?

This brings up another point -- the philosophical or religious base of a university may be a factor in your consideration. For some, religious affiliation is largely historical and doesn't have much effect on the current operation of the school. For others, it's very important, and you want to investigate enough to make sure that you will be comfortable with it. I imagine that a non-TM-practicing fundamentalist Christian might feel uncomfortable with MUM's philosophy; a dedicated TM practitioner might feel out of place at Liberty University.
