Anyone find a good MBA program after Excelsior?

So I guess the exams aren't open book..., are they multiple choice? What are the percentages of each area worth? Are most or all the courses set up the same? It doesn't really sound like it, but do you think it is doable to complete 3 courses in 8 weeks? What exactly do you have to do in the case studies? and 12-14 page papers? I'm sorry I am one of those people that research a class syllabus before enrolling. Now enrolling in the MBA program, there aren't that many classes to choose from, nor that many teachers that would teach differently. Will they allow a student to enroll and start before their conferral date with a letter from the college? Since I plan on hopefully enrolling in August, should I get the ball running now? I'm just so unsure about enrolling with them, but the sponsored tuition is too good to pass up. I figure I could do their AJU's MBA then transfer those credits to a Capella PHD which is a regional accredited college. They told me that since AJU was with CHEA they would accept those credits regardless of them being a nationally accredited school. Just in case you're interest...

I don't have all of the answers to your questions, but I will try. The exams are not open book and I have one all multiple choice one all short essays and one a mixture of the two. The 12-14 pg paper you research a company or organization and describe its makeup. The format of the classes have been the same. A quiz with each lesson. Case studies or exercises. Discussion board.Some case studies you read about a situation and answer a series of questions asking you how you would respond to the situation. 3 courses at time would be a lot of work but if you have the time you could possibly do it. I thought the same thing about getting a low cost MBA and transfer. My first thought was NCU but they stopped taking DETC transfers from what I read. I may check out Capella, but they are expensive. You can always give AJU a call and they have always been quite helpful and friendly for my purposes.

I thought about NCU as well, but with Capella they have elective credits that can be field by any graduate course like your MBA courses. This would cut the cost and they have flat fees for all of their PHD degrees except for their Psych ones. The new flat fee equates to $373.75 per credit. That really still is a bit pricey for me but it's the lowest I've seen so far. If you come across any one else that will accept AJU's MBA towards the degree and cost cheaper let me know. Sorry to bombard you with so many questions about AJU, I am just one of those people that research as much as I can about something before I delve into it. Thanks for information...
