Coursera Illinois Tech MBA

[Vle045]

Just noticed this on Coursera for about $15,000.  I don’t know much about the school.  But the price is an affordable range.

$15k for an MBA from a school I've never heard of? Kinda pricy, I think you can find those at lots of schools for less.

Now, if you're from Illinois, and it's well-respected, then sure, you might want to consider it...

“ You can gain acceptance into the program regardless of your educational background or professional experience. Complete three courses (Business Strategy in a Competitive Market, Managerial Economics: Buyer and Seller Behavior, Mastering Excel Essentials to Enhance Business Value) with at least a B in each course and you’ll be accepted—even if you do not hold a bachelor’s degree.”

That last part is kind of unusual in the US. And it’s an R2 institution… So this may be a decent option for certain folks.

Seems like Coursera now offers a couple of master's degree programs that do not require a bachelor's degree.

It's definitely not the cheapest out there, but it's on the lower end of the spectrum.    Worth looking into if it fits your needs/budget.  The admission criteria can possibly put it at the top of the list for some.  I think the iMBA from Geis on Coursera is around $24k. 

For me, I need as cheap as possible, which is why I chose the program I am doing.  (I don't want to take out loans).  The only possibly cheaper one was HAU, but the school wasn't as appealing.

Average GPA 3.98? Dang.

Probably not too bad of a deal for a top 150 school and located in Chicago.

Interesting... Seems like an alright school... They're ranked globally as well.

I looked into this one over the past week and one odd thing; they have zero scholarships and don't participate in US Federal Financial Aid. Not even unsubsidized loans. Was an automatic no go for me. The nearby U of I iMBA is twice as expensive but has 70% off competitive scholarships and full FAFSA financial aid.
