Some help on MBA

[Kidd]

Hey guys. So I have a bachelors degree in the arts and was interested in getting an MBA. Unfortunately, my math is a beat weak. I was wondering if there were some fairly easy MBA programs to pass?

Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the board! You may have missed the template right above your post, you should follow it and provide as many details as possible. Have you got a program/school or two in mind already? Why are you going for an MBA? Is there an alternative you would accept, such as a MAOL, MSML? A budget, have commitments? Anything else that will help us in providing you an answer?

Have you got a program/school or two in mind already? I have done some research, but no specific program as of yet. I did a MBA course from Strayer some time back, though I don't like the school very much. I have seen some other schools like Grand Canyon, etc. I don't know if these types are the only ones available to me, however. I went to a state school for my undergrad, and still would like an OK sounding name for the MBA. Are these available with my weaker math background, however? I don't know.
Why are you going for an MBA? I need it to enhance my career chances a bit. An MBA enhances my resume.
Is there an alternative you would accept, such as a MAOL, MSML? I would accept a Masters in Entrepreneurship, Management, or something similar. Typically a business related masters, if not directly a MBA. 
A budget, have commitments? No budget, I can pay. I still have to go to work, but I run my own business and am flexible with this.
Anything else that will help us in providing you an answer? I am a little stuck. I don't know if I am able to get through some of the accounting or financial modeling courses MBA's require. Which MBA can I realistically pass with an arts background? I would like to know this the most. Thanks for any help.

Looks like GCU’s tuition for the online MBA is around $22,000, so I will assume that you can spend that. Programs may have additional fees not reflected in my post. With that in mind:

There are plenty of online MBA and Master’s in Management programs in your price range that DON’T have math, accounting, or similar prerequisites, including degrees from pretty good “name brand” schools.

University of Illinois (with Coursera) Master of Science in Management: https://www.coursera.org/degrees/ms-mana...admissions Tuition of $11,000 from one of the best-ranked business schools in the country.

University of Alabama Master of Arts in Management: https://online.ua.edu/degrees/ma-in-mana...anagement/ Tuition of $13,200

LSU-Shreveport. Master of Business Administration. Many concentrations available including Entrepreneurship and Family business. No prerequisites for this concentration. $12,480 tuition. https://www.lsus.edu/academics/graduate-...nistration

In addition to these, the butt-in-seat options nearby in your state may be good ones, and these B&M schools geared to adults.

Amberton MBA or a different Masters in a similar field
Georgia South Western State MBA, it's got the AACSB I believe

Then there are the online competency based options
Purdue Global MBA, UMPI MAOL, UMass Global MAOL, WGU MBA, MSML, Walden MBA

I would also do a search in the Grad sub forum as I have searched for a few public/state research universities.
Some have great programs for under $15K and they're entirely online.

I don’t think an MBA is really all that math-heavy.  It might include accounting and finance, but if you are running a business, those would be essential anyways.

Aside from the ones mentioned, I also liked what I saw at Eastern University.  Very cost effective.

A popular one on the forum is Hellenic American University.  I beleive you can still get the $3,000 price tag

I am actually going to be starting the Jack Welch MBA which is also through Strayer, but the regular price is pretty expensive.  I don’t know if the courses are much different that what you took at Strayer.  It probably wouldn’t be my first choice, but I am getting a HUGE discount on it, so it rose to the top of my list.  If it doesn’t work out for some reason, I’d probably switch to one of the two I mentioned or maybe even LSUS.

If you're just looking for a resume enhancer, an ENEB degree might be a good option for you. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/ENEB

Yes, the ENEB might be a great "starter" program to get you up to speed since your undergrad was not in business.  My undergrad was in Business and I still took them to "learn" & "retain" more info/knowledge as I like learning and I have a hard time remembering things.  See my previous post here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid367320

I am going to echo that you are overly concerned about the math. A lot of the math I did for the accounting and financial management course was done in a spreadsheet where the numbers are calculated for you. I took both a UoPeople and transferred them back to my main program at Walden.
