WGU vs Eastern U vs HAU - TINASAM - 12-26-2022
Anyone that has taken the MBA degree from any of these three, can I get your experiences?
While I love the HAU pricetag I'm really leaning to do WGU, or perhaps EU. Are there any tuition "coupons" like walden has from time to time for WGU or EU?
My pros are that there is financial aid and its competency based so there is a slight chance I may could finish in one term but definitely in two.
I'm really second guessing myself and need to have a solid MBA plan and soon.
Thanks for any and all feedback.

WGU has scholarships. Non-profit schools don't tend to have promotional deals on tuition.

Tuition: WGU $4,730 vs. HAU $3,000
Speed: WGU months vs. HAU 12 months
@sanantone, I've always thought the $625 per term scholarships were a little overrated unless you can finish in 1 term. In two terms, and even with a scholarship, you have entered a different tier for the overall degree cost/value.
Both degrees check the MBA box; however, WGU, if finished in 1 term, wins on speed, being a non-profit, and one would imagine a little easier to navigate when discussing your MBA. My father has an MBA, and is rarely a time when he gets asked where he earned his MBA. This would be an easy pick for me if HAU could be finished faster or at least as fast as WGU.

The 6 hours of meetings required each week for HAU is the deal breaker for me.
HAU could be FREE, and on top of that, they could PAY me $10,000 to attend that school, and it would still not be worth it for me.
HAU's MBA would take at least one year.
WGU, I know I could do it in one term, likely 3 months or less.

Thanks everyone. I was really leaning toward WGU just for the speed of it, and now I think I may apply there. $65 to apply, ugh, but ah well.

They always have free admission deals. Don't pay $65

Also, don't forget to apply for all the scholarships.

You know that HAU is a non profit as well right?
RE: WGU vs Eastern U vs HAU - KSoul - 12-27-2022
Thanks for highlighting it. My sentence is coupled in a way that I could see someone being unsure.
That check is like when I call one sister smart and pretty and then my other sister feels I am sneak dissing her and saying she's smart and not as pretty. Which is the last thing on my mind.
Yes, HAU is Cheap and Non-profit; however, WGU is Cheap, Non-profit, and Faster if completed in one term + easier to explain as an MBA choice.

I don't know how this rumor got started. I have a family member in the HAU MBA program and they only have four courses left (one being the capstone) and never once have they had any courses that had such a requirement as you have listed here. They did have one class that had a group project, where those in the group arranged (on their own mutually agreed to schedule) once a week (for approximately 30 minutes) for 6 weeks to discuss each other tasks on the project (courses are 7 weeks each, although some offer a 14 week version).
