soliloquy Wrote:I spoke to UNC regarding their MBA program. When I decided not to attend, Ngunjiri Ngari, called me incessantly so I know they must be having a hard time selling that program. MBA@UNC tuition is currently $1,510.23 per credit hour. MBA@UNC is a 66 credit hour program. Students can expect to pay at least $99,675 for the entire program. That doesn't include their immersion travel requirements.
Let me know what they say about their financial aid packages. They didn't seem like they were offering much there...pushing loans more than anything so if you find out something different, I would love to know that.
Considering that these MBA@ programs are ran/administered by the same for profit program, you're going to get the strong sell you see with the usual for profits. I know your experience as I had applied for one of these programs and the push to get you to apply is strong. When I first sent in my transcripts, I couldn't find the address to send them, so I sent them in the normal school route. The school instead of forwarding the transcripts, called the program and told them that I need to send new transcripts to the for profit wing.
These programs are reaalllly pricey and I know the one program i am applying to accepts yellow ribbon so I should be get an MBA that is paid for. If I didn't have a third party payer, I would have sought a much cheaper program.
EDIT: One of our members is already doing the UNC program, maybe we should ask him to check in on his status, opinions.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
