One of my friends is a writer and put together a really great list of 100% online MBA programs with the various concentrations which are ACBSP accredited. I know this will end up coming in handy for some people. Of course, always double check the information because things like prices can be different. For instance, on here it's not breaking down the per term fee for the Walden U Tempo competency based platform, which will end up being cheaper than the per credit for most people.

WGU seems to be missing from that list altogether. Even if you took 2 years to complete your MBA (and most folks take much less time), they'd come in around $263 per credit, which would make them one of the least expensive RA business school with ACBSP accreditation. At least on that list. Delta State is the only one that comes close at $260/credit, though that doesn't include textbooks or other fees. The Walden tempo MBA will likely be cheaper if they keep the first term free option going forward.
Most of those schools will also charge secondary fees and require purchasing textbooks, which isn't reflected in those costs either. Another advantage for competency-based programs.
It would be nice to see the competency-based programs reflected on there properly and price-matched accordingly.

Merlin, I believe the issue is the article was written prior to WGU receiving ACBSP accreditation. For the competency based he was not asked to break out the price since it can vary. This was something that was a paid assignment for him, so it doesn't seem like something he can update. I just figured it might be useful to some folks looking for certain concentrations. I just happened to get lucky that Walden had what I wanted and someone else happened to be kind enough to post it on here, because when I was searching online I was inundated with pretty useless results. This list just would have been a huge help to me.
