Cool, it's back! Get your crack at the RA MBA for $3000. It's better than the UofP NA version at the very least...

I'm happy this was extended. I'm not sure if I'll go for an MBA but if I do this is first on the list of schools for me.

I just wish it wasn't an MBA.
An MBA from an unknown university looks bad on your profile–because MBA's are meant for networking and are pretty much setup as a social clubs.
If I look at a person's LinkedIn and I see an MBA from 4th+ tier school–I immediately think about how that person made a bad decision in putting in the time and effort to go to an unranked MBA program. Plus, the person likely does not have any valuable contacts. It's messed up, but the MBA is pretty much the most elitists, and classist academic qualification that a person can get in this society. In big cities where you got it–is more important than anything else when meeting people in corporate settings.
If this degree was a Masters in Management–I would do it in a heartbeat. Because those degrees are viewed differently, and can actually look good on your profile, even from unranked schools.
[edit] Has anyone asked them if this grant is available for that Sales Management Masters degree they offer?

Your argument has some merit in context of someone with min. work experience in their field, late 20's-early 30's looking to use a MBA to advance.
For someone with experience, advancing within their company or gov type employment these work fine. I suggested this to a friend later 30's with a decade plus at one of the largest insurance companies, he got a $1.50 an hour raise upon enrollment and will get an extra $2 when he graduates (along with points towards promotions). They will also reimburse him when finished. This $3,000 MBA will have given him a $3,000 raise a year for enrolling, $7,280 raise after grad, even if nothing else changes.
At 54 and a student on this myself, I promise you that very few people have more contacts in my industry than I do, and not doing this MBA to get contacts.

Has anyone here begun work on HAU that can comment on the structure and delivery of the program?

I am sorry, but that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. After over 30 years of work history in a few different industries, I have never seen any evidence of this.

The courses are on blackboard. Each course has been somewhat different, some had 2-3 zoom meetings for 1-2 hrs in evening per 7 week term, some just had video's to watch and materials to read. Assignments can be papers, more PPT however so far. Finance was on the cengage mindtap platform.
I choose to take one course online with the Athens campus as they are online with covid right now. That is a 15 week term and will include 2 two hr zoom meetings at 9 am on Weds twice during the 15 weeks and two presentations on a couple different Sundays. By far the most structured course but I expected that and am able to do. I suspect most US students won't do but it is one of the core courses and was available so figured why not sooner than later when offered via NH campus in 7 week term. Some courses are team based with classmates, which I have enjoyed.
Overall, I am very happy with.

The MBA is the go-to management degree, and management is everywhere. Unlike accounting, there isn't a focus on a handful of companies. I would say that law is the most elitist industry outside of academia.

I wouldn’t think that an MBA for $3000 from an regionally accredited university would be a waste of money. Most people probably spend that on coffee and eating out in a years time. A waste of time ? How bout turning off the Netflix.
