Full curriculum breakdown:

• Pre-Term Orientation (0 credit)
  
• Creating Socially Responsible Businesses in the Digital Age (9 credits)

• Leading with Integrity (9 credits)

Modules provide an integrated perspective on the key capabilities that students need to make management decisions in a complex ecosystem, and include exercises that require application of concepts and skills to students’ current jobs. Each module ends with an integrated project. We expect each module will require approximately 9 to 16 hours of work per week.[/size]

The courses seem to be 9cr "modules" instead of traditional 3cr classes.

You can get all the bells and whistles for $76,000 assuming you can get.  Of course you'll have to go there in order to do useful networking.

$24,000 feels like a bargain, considering.

I think you can probably find a few schools offering MBAs for less than 10 grand, but unless I'm mistaken, I don't think that this thread was meant to be a whos who of cheap.  I THINK it was meant to show a way to get an exceptionally prestigious university MBA on your resume by alternative learning and online options.  No question an MBA in residence is better, but it's all a matter of what you're looking for and what you're willing to spend.
