Help! MBA Low cost- Maximize transferring credit hours

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me. I have completed over 80% of my MBA at a university, when due to family circumstances I fell below the no C-grade policy and was let go from the program. I don't know what to do, I can't afford to start over, and I want to find a school online if possible that will allow me to transfer most of if not all of my credit hours. And that mostly it's affordable! I hope you guys can help me. I've tried appealing due to the circumstances but have had no luck

 

So sorry to hear of your troubles. I would think the university would cut you some slack considering your adversity, but...(sigh).

Excelsior College, and I think Charter Oak State College, are both amenable to large numbers of transfer credits. Both are fully, regionally accredited, well-respected and reasonably priced. Excelsior actively promotes degree completion programs for people like you who have become stalled. Give them a call and let us know what they say. Here is a link: Excelsior Admissions

Excelsior College's MBA program is very generous in the acceptance of transfer credits. As stated on their MBA program web page:

Excelsior College | MBA Degrees | MBA Programs | Master of Business Administration | Online

 

Charter Oak only has one masters and it's not an MBA. In addition to excelsior try Thomas Edison.

You could possibly breeze through the self paced MBA at western governors.... You likely have a decent command of the relevant topics.

 

Amberton may have a business masters.....but I don't recall it being an MBA, they are transfer friendly though.

 

Don't neglect going back to the school and appealing their decision. A decision made at one level may seem final, yet could be changed with a higher-up. The first "no" is almost always rules-based, but subsequent decisions may take other factors into consideration.

Because of a re-assignment when I was a military officer, I couldn't finish my MBA at National. (There were no online options back then.) I'd already transferred in the maximum number of credits, and now I needed to move and take four courses somewhere else. Their initial answer was "no"; they'd offer me an MA instead. But I appealed to the campus chancellor, who granted me a waiver. I took the last four courses at another school, transferred them back to National, and got my MBA.

I'd rather try to get my original school to waive its rules than to get a new school--one who doesn't know me and hasn't invested in me--to do the same.

I also like the other schools listed here in the thread. Good options, those.

 

I recall hearing somewhere that roll out was imminent....but I will defer to your expert advice. My point was that COSC probably has no valid options for the OP.

 

Transfer upto 18 credits to University of the Cumberlands PhD in Leadership program. You will need to finish 42 more credits to graduate with a doctorate degree!

 

Do they require 33 or 42 units? The information on their website is a bit confusing. I guess I'm trying to determine if their completion totals are under inflated or over inflated?

 

If I'm not mistaken: It depends on whether you come in with prerequisites earned at the undergraduate level. Come in with all prerequisites met, and your MBA is 33 semester hours. Come in with none of the subject prerequisites, and they'll basically "gross up" the MBA with "foundation" courses or exams. They give credit for these at the graduate level, thought they aren't getting you any closer to the MBA than you'd be getting by fulfilling those prerequisites at the undergraduate level.
