Any Online MBA in US suggestions?

[buffalowing]

Hello all,

I am interested in getting an online MBA. Can anyone help me, please?

About me. I am a neutralized FL citizen and will graduate in Business Administration in Sustainability Management (BAS) in the fall. My GPA is 3.68 now, and English is not my first language. I have an associate degree in Supply Chain Management and hospitality management outside the US. During the day, I work at the government's water department with PMP, LEED AP, Six Sigma Green Belt,  scrum master, and supply chain credentials. 

I prefer there is no GMAT or language evaluation required. 

My research: 

Texas A & M Corpus Christi
MBA - Data Analytics
36 credits - $15,696+
https://online.tamucc.edu/degrees/busine...analytics/

Amberton
MBA - Project management 
36 credits - $12,875+
https://www.amberton.edu/programs-and-co...index.html

LSUS
30 credits - $416/credit about $12,480+
MBA with a Concentration or Specialization in Data Analytics (1st choice) or Project management

Thanks for the link. I found it on the website
*The $3,000 tuition cost is a limited time offer for new US students enrolling through our Nashua, NH campus. To receive the $3,000 price, students must be enrolled by June 7 or September 7, 2021. Limited seats are available for each term. Secure your spot now.

Yeah, that's what it says. As far as we're aware, it hasn't yet ended. The price is valid until their grant/scholarship thing runs out.

I'm not sure which page you're seeing that date - I'm not showing the date there anymore (https://mba.hauniv.edu/get-an-mba-your-way).  I know that the $3000 is still available for those in the US (and at least parts of Canada). Here is the main thread for the MBA - https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ersity-HAU

I will add that the Amberton program you mentioned is also a good choice if you want a focus on PM, with it you get the ACBSP and PMI - GAC Accreditation

Also, if your interest is not only for an MBA but also a Data Analytics - you may want to take a look at Eastern's MBA/MS in Data Science Dual Degree option https://www.eastern.edu/academics/gradua...ual-degree

Their MS Data Science alone is very affordable at just under $10k - https://www.eastern.edu/academics/gradua...ta-science

@buffalowing, Welcome to the board, that's a very good introduction post. Those are your top 3 institutions, I guess you're just looking for affirmation those are good choices and also see if there are alternatives. I was just wondering where you got the AAS and where you're going to graduate from with the BAS? Generally, I ask people to fill us in with more details from the template/last post addendum here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...Area-works

My suggestion is to skip the template as your intro covers that, but do provide us more details within the last post addendum, we want to know about your budget, commitments (beyond what you mentioned), your study habits and preferences, tuition reimbursements, whatever else that you can think of that is mentioned in the addendum.  With a clearer picture, it would be a better overview of your situation and we can advise accordingly.

Note: I suggest you have a short list created, then shrink that list to a top 3 choices of yours and top 3 backup options. The ones you listed are a mix of AACSB and ACBSP.  MBA's and Masters are a dime a dozen when HR looks though applications, everyone is shooting for them... Does it have to be MBA or would something else very similar suit you more? That's why I asked what your AAS, BAS is from, you can either ladder up from those, or shoot in another slightly different direction.

What about WGU's MBA?

[Vle045]

Those are all great options. Out of the three you list, my favorite is LSUS…

If you are wanting a focus on data analytics, might look at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. They have an MBA with that concentration that is as cheap or cheaper than any you quoted.

I would also look at Florida Gulf Coast University’s online MBA with Data Analytics concentration: https://onlinedegree.fgcu.edu/programs/m...analytics/

It’s cheaper than any you quoted and there are advantages (alumni network, less potential bias against online degrees) to in-state universities or those in nearby areas to where you live.

Thanks, Rachel! You are awesome!

Thank you for your suggestion. I will follow your advice and do a proper introduction.

Yes. That's what I have been told, but I heard people complain about the proctor test.

Ok. I will check out WGU. Thanks!

 Yes, I saw FL Gulf Coast University too. I don't know, is it better to choose an in-state university?
