I just got word that UCLA Extension's post-MBA program will launch January 2022. It's $1,900 total for 10 short courses (5 required and 5 electives).
It's basically an MBA refresher program for those who got their MBAs years ago. Lots of interesting courses. I am seriously considering it because I can reimburse it as part of my company benefits.
Also, a "Post-MBA" qualification from UCLA will probably look good on a resume.

I think they'll let people in who have a BSBA and some years experience, there are no "hard" requirements really. I clicked the link above and it shows:
This program is perfect for...
- Individuals who completed their MBA program and are looking to expand their knowledge
- Professionals wanting to level-up their skills to better lead their organizations
I don't think you need to be both, it should be and/or... but to be safe, you should email to find out.
$1900 is a very good deal for this, just to have a UCLA extension certificate, I wonder if you get lifetime email/alumni status.

This looks amazingily affordable for someone who needs a lot of extra grad credits for a salary step too.

Are they credit granting, though? A lot of certs don't grant credits.

With 6 hours per course I'm thinking no. No credit. It's also post MBA meaning one has an MBA so why would they need credit? Nothing on the page says anything about issuing credit. The interesting thing is most of these are not courses you'll find in an MBA program.

Very interesting. I've taken several free non-credit bearing classes from UCLA Extension and found them fun. May look into this if my dumb ENEB Masters of Biz and Corp Comms is close enough to an MBA for them.
Thanks for sharing. Go Bruins!

Perhaps by offering these courses outside the credit-granting system they can bypass the accreditation system.

That is an interesting point. They would save quite a bit of money. The programs wouldn't need to be approved and can be changed frequently and easily.
