Wow, this looks great! I skimmed their website and that's the only online program they have, the rest are part/time or full/time on campus. Amazing deal if you would like a UK based degree, it will rival those that are "top up" in both price and courses taught, probably the course structure would be very good as well. 

It's not just the cost that's appealing, but the courses are interesting as well. I see they have two projects... As mentioned by Johann (on the sister board)... If those who want an international MBA this would be my choice, those looking for just an US MBA, the $3K HAU would be the ticket!

I looked at the admissions application (which is remarkably brief) and in one section you are asked to choose your "Programme of Interest."  I thought there might be a couple MBA concentrations on the drop-down but instead I found a whole range of programs (28) including a number of doctoral degrees.  I didn't check but I assume these are all available at a similar low rate.  If this is true then this school might soon become quite a bit more popular.

HAU is an international focused MBA, I even have taken 3 courses taught from the Athens Campus.

Unfortunately, so far as I can tell, the others are not online. They're also not as cheap. I checked out the MS in Project Management. Unlike the MBA, the PM degree doesn't have "online" mentioned anywhere on the page. It only lists full-time/part-time as options. It's also 2.5x as expensive as the MBA.

Yeah, all the info is actually linked on the first post. Each and every program other than the MBA Online are full time/part time butt-in-seat I would think. The pricing also differs greatly with other Masters programs for both domestic or international students, the Online MBA is the only one with the same pricing...

Do you think the HAU MBA is a better option than WGU?

It depends on what you're looking for. At $3k, HAU would be cheaper than WGU. But it would take longer to get through, since HAU is a traditional MBA program. But, it also sounds like HAU has a possibility for networking, which I don't think you really get with WGU. You only get the MBA.

WGU should be your first choice because of many reasons, 1) It has ACBSP programmatic/secondary accreditation
2) WGU can be done faster, it should be easier to complete if you have the competency/knowledge in that field
3) WGU networking actually is better, they have so many more graduates plus they're endorsed by several states

HAU, the only reason I would take the program here is because of the timeline 1.5-2 years (18-24 months).  You can complete it at a more reasonable pace for those who have a busy life style or already working in the field and just need to engage in academic upgrading and learn some new skills at the management level in addition to getting a Masters degree.

@evanmonast, lastly - I would stay on the current course - Pierpont BOG AAS, UMPI BAS, WGU MBA or MSML

is the degree issued by U of Malaya/ Wales or this IUMW? U of Malaya is a prestigious school but this IUMW seems to be no name ..
