I was just perusing the inter-webs and came across the UMUC one-year MBA program. It appears that their admissions requirements allow for applicants without a bachelor's degree. I know Aspen and NCU used to have provisions for this scenario but this is no longer the case (I was enrolled in a masters program at Aspen prior to obtaining my BS). Online One-Year MBA FAQs | UMUC Relevant text (my emphasis): Admission to this program is competitive and is granted to students who meet one of the following criteria: Possess a graduate degree from a regionally accredited university Possess an undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited university or college and certain professional certifications Have an undergraduate GPA of 3.5 or above from a regionally accredited university and a GMAT score in the 75th percentile or higher Admission may also be granted to applicants with a minimum of five years professional experience managing projects and/or people in an organization (subject to verification). Applicants seeking admission under this basis are subject to an interview (in-person or via teleconference) and must submit A résumé A biographical statement detailing how the applicant’s professional experience demonstrates his or her ability to succeed in a fast-paced MBA program A professional recommendation
Agreed. Although if one doesn't have a bachelor's degree (and any associated school loans), this might be a viable option. And there's also employee tuition reimbursement for some people.
Agree this is a bit pricey. However, for someone without a bachelors is not a bad deal. Think about it, give or take $21K for a masters degree. And once you have it no one will care where you got your bachelors from. So for someone with considerable work experience this might not be a bad deal. By paying $21K you can skip, perhaps, a large chunk of undergrad student loans.
I wonder how an HR person would treat a resume with an MBA and no bachelors listed. Even if it was a check the box any bachelors will do type of job.
