What is the utility of nationally accredited MBA programs like this vs the super cheap regionally accredited programs?  I will admit that I am not up to speed on much with national accreditation.  I remember reading about it more during the mid-2000's, when schools like Aspen U getting DETC accreditation and offering doctorates sparked a lot of discussion on the sister boards.  This was back when there were far fewer options.

I used to work for a US state government and having any nationally/regionally accredited masters degree (as a checkbox) works equally well in getting promoted to certain job levels.   I think those who would choose the $4,500 nationally accredited option are those who just want the checkbox and are living paycheck to paycheck right now so that an additional 5K might mean the difference between a masters and no masters.  For people who are financially flexible, obviously the decision can be made based on far more factors than money.


That is a legit reason, especially if you are a career federal employee.  Why pay more money, when you just need to check the box to go to the next paygrade? Thanks!
