Grad options - New Charter University?

[bella2011]

they used to be called Andrew Jackson

not regionally accredited (r/a)

they have national accreditation with DETC

for one not picky on r/a for the grad level.

does anyone have experience with this school or recommend another like this

their tuition is tempting

Master of Business Administration – Health Care Management - New Charter University

I would also suggest: Online Degree Programs - California Coast University

I'd take a hard look at Western Governors self paced MBA/Healthcare Indiana Healthcare MBA Program | Indiana Online Degree | WGU Indiana Business College They are Regionally accredited. Self paced, very affordable.

It's not that I'm picky, it's that future potential employers might be. The cost isn't so much better that I would choose it over an RA alternative. I'm aware that some employers don't care, I understand government and the military dont mind NA...but I might want to take my MBA somewhere else later on.

Back to your question....didn't one of the NA MBA's have a special deal going on for awhile? You could bang out so many credits free or really cheap and the College would transcribe them for a big portion of the degree? I forget which one it was.

I would be really careful choosing your master's program unless you know exactly what your career path and future employers will require. An MBA is a ton of work RA or not and while it may be personally enriching even without full accreditation, my field is too competitive to risk it. I figured that since my undergrad is very non-traditional, I wanted to find at least a moderately well-known program for the MBA. Of course, my grad school is still not very popular outside of my home state, but I just don't want to ever have to explain why both my undergrad and my grad are different than the norm.

However, like everything YMMV and it's important to take into account all factors that you're aware of presently along with future possibilities. It might not be worth the savings if you're getting turned down for jobs, or crossing your fingers and changing the subject every time the subject of education is brought up. I never used to talk about education at work (because my BS wasn't completed) but now I realize how many discussions go on about schools and I don't avoid them any more. It's nice being able to talk about my MBA because I really don't generally want to discuss the undergrad.

The App fee for WGU can be waived if you get a referral from a current student.
