Some graduate programs will give credit for the CISSP and PMP certifications. I once heard that there was this ACE-approved business certification that was a series of tests. I can't remember the name of the company now, but I looked it up, and it was expensive. I also couldn't find it on the ACE National Guide.
Edit: I think I found information on it.
The name eludes me now, but there is a distance MBA offered by what I think is a university in the UK. It can be completed by taking their sort of in-house CBEs. With WGU's Information Security master's program, you can have some of the competencies completed by already having the certifications that are incorporated into the program.

Quote:Certified MBA (CMBA) was a professional certification designed as an "objective measure of a student's grasp of the MBA skill set". It was offered by the International Certification Institute. The website was certifiedmba.com, which as of 2/14/2013 has been taken down. The exams were administered by Prometric.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certified_MBA
The CMBA focused on the "10 key subject areas" comprising the MBA "core curriculum" (Financial Accounting, Management Accounting, Quantitative Analysis, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Finance, Marketing Management, Operations Management, Organizational Behavior, and Business Strategy).
The certification was a series of exams taken over several days. Each 4-hour exam focused on several of the subject areas and was composed of multiple choice questions.
The certification was incorporated into the Western Governors University MBA program [1] for several years.
