30 credit hours

AACSB

$257 a credit hour

This is a 2 year program. Seems like the OP wants something faster.

Thanks everyone, I decided on UMASS Lowell, and I love it. Just started my first semester and the flow is great. 

Thanks for everyone's input!

Can you finish that one in 12 months?

Just a heads up for anyone who might've been thinking about it for a competency-based MBA option: John F. Kennedy University closed back on January 1st. Some of their programs were distributed across National University's school system, but JFKU is no more.

Hate to kick a dead dog when it's down, but in my communications with them they were really awful. Over the course of 2 weeks, no one in admissions could answer a simple question about tuition. They kept sending me messages that the question was being looked into and passed to another team within the department. I finally wrote back and told them to forget about it and remove me from their alerts system.

Hi @Ilianasmile, 
I am considering UMass Lowell Online MBA program. Have you completed the program? Do you have any feedback?

Thank you

$900 per credit hour is a good budget. So essentially, your top dollar amount is right around $35,000. Is accreditation important to you? As in, do you want AACSB or ACBSP? Do you want all asynchronous or are you okay with synchronous components? Do you want 100% online or are you okay with a couple immersions?

There are a lot of online MBA programs and a little bit more detail beyond budget and total credits will help.

I am open to just about anything but I really don't want more than 30 credits. The only one I have found is UMASS. Online versus in person is not as important as we are in a pandemic so many colleges are fully remote and will be for a while. I do want accreditation, just not sure which one is better. I am new to all of this. 

Thanks

If cost and credit hours were not a concern, I would recommend Ross, Tepper, Kennan-Flagler, Fuqua, Stern, etc. However, your budget knocks all of those out of the question.

I did my MBA at Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Now I am doing my MS in Quantitative Management at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business. While I enjoyed my MBA program, the caliber of students is FAR different now I am at Duke.

How was your experience at Southeastern Oklahoma State and their  MBA ? Would you recommend? How fast paced is the 7 week sessions ? Is there a lot of group work? Are there any mandatory live zoom meetings ? If so how much? I know you’re at Duke now but did you benefit professionally by getting your MBA from there ?

I had a great experience at SOSU and I’d certainly recommend. In fact, my wife is getting ready to start the program.

The pace of the 7 week sessions vary. Some of the courses crammed a lot of material in those 7 weeks whereas other courses was nicely paced. There was minimal group work when I went through it and there are zero mandatory live Zoom sessions.

I do believe the MBA helped me get ahead in my career. I have been fortunate with my path in banking and then I also teach undergraduate courses.
