Affordable, Accredited, Flexible DL MBA or MS (w/o BS/GMAT)

Hello to all, really amazed by the quality of information, and the knowledgeable respondents. That said, this may be a search for a unicorn, because the option I have in mind may not exist, but here it goes anyway.
I am looking for an online MBA or similar (MS in Business, IT or Technology Management) that is:

- Accredited: from what I have seen in the forums, most seem to favor RA - which I understand would be needed for teaching later on, correct? However that is mostly US-based (that is a long-term goal, so another option could be do a DETC MBA and look at a certificate in teaching or a bigger name school executive certificate? maybe? - or would I have to do a DBA if I really wanted teaching ? - but I digress…)

- Fast: <12-18 months, but I know I may be asking too much, and 2 years is reasonable (it depends on input and effort of course)

- Flexible: no US Bachelor requirement, or GMAT / GRE either (I do have some international credits (but not enough for a US BS equivalent per se), tons of professional training, 25+ years of progressive experience including leadership, and a Certificate in Management, so I would want a straightforward path to an MBA program that I can finish soon)

- Affordable: not trying to be cheap, but rather maximize the value of the investment (I know there are programs ranging from U$S3,500 onwards - nothing wrong with that or <$5K or <$10K, right? - I believe U$S10-15K would be top range)

I have a list of 10-12 institutions that I am painfully going through, but my cycles are VERY limited these days so any help with sorting things out for a decision would be a huge help. (in that preliminary list I have Heriot-Watt EBS, William Loveland College/ILM, RMIT, Eastern New Mexico, Columbia College, Roehampton, MiddleSex, U of North Alabama, Don Bosco, Pretoria, UNISA, etc., but I know some aren't RA or would work w/o a BS).

Alternatively, I would consider a DL Masters by Thesis/Dissertation/Research, and would welcome feedback on that as well.

Again, I know it's a very tall order, but thought I'd give it a try and see where I might need to compromise - i.e. "the art of the possible" within my constraints.
Thanks!

Another question for the experts, especially those who have gone through the selection process for a Masters (MBA, MSIT or similar, and Master by Research/Thesis): any useful criteria you used to select your program?

Any notes from comparing UK/Europe vs. Australia vs. South Africa?

Any how-to info on the Top Up route?

Any guidance from those with experience in the following programs:

Roehampton
RMIT
HW
Leicester
UNISA
Regents
Liverpool
UWA

 

Heriot Watt is the only program that I think matches your requirements. Last I checked, If you pass all of your exams on the first try, the MBA there should be just under $15K for US citizens. They don't require the GMAT, and IIRC, some folks have gone through the program without a Bachelors degree.
