$4,500 MBA - Carolina University - archsvt - 05-31-2022
UniAthena is partnering with Carolina University to offer an MBA for $4,500. Although Carolina University's TRACS accreditation may be a little inconvenient, it might be useful for admission to Liberty or other regionally-accredited religious schools.

This is somewhat interesting. It’s like an Italian version of ENEB… but a little more expensive

Basically, Athena Education group has a few partners, I think it's a great option to get awarded with "Dual" credentials.
I recall they work with a few institutions from certs and diplomas up to degrees at the graduate level (including the DBA).

While I am glad that other options are being created, can someone give me a use case where getting a $4,500 MBA from a place like Carolina University, which is nationally accredited is better than getting a $9,900 MBA from some place like Eastern University, which is regionally accredited? I k now that it is not a degree mill, like the unaccredited programs. I am just exploring the utility.
What is the utility of nationally accredited MBA programs like this vs the super cheap regionally accredited programs? I will admit that I am not up to speed on much with national accreditation. I remember reading about it more during the mid-2000's, when schools like Aspen U getting DETC accreditation and offering doctorates sparked a lot of discussion on the sister boards. This was back when there were far fewer options.

I used to work for a US state government and having any nationally/regionally accredited masters degree (as a checkbox) works equally well in getting promoted to certain job levels. I think those who would choose the $4,500 nationally accredited option are those who just want the checkbox and are living paycheck to paycheck right now so that an additional 5K might mean the difference between a masters and no masters. For people who are financially flexible, obviously the decision can be made based on far more factors than money.

One can get an MBA from an RA school - HAU - for $3000. For an MBA I'd definitely want an RA school.

That is a legit reason, especially if you are a career federal employee. Why pay more money, when you just need to check the box to go to the next paygrade? Thanks!

I think it widely depends on what you want to do with it afterwards.
I have heard for those who want to teach at a university, they often need to be RA.

They have doubled the price to $9,000.

Oh wow. They sure did.
