Columbus Business School or UCLA Anderson School of Management?

If work is not paying for it and you're using your GI Bill, I would recommend going for a Masters program (if you don't already have a Masters).  Go for something that you're interested in, instead of an undergraduate or graduate executive certificate.  I think the current and future ROI on a Masters will be much better, even though you may not need it now.  There are plenty of Masters available from the usual providers such as Coursera, Edx, with "Brand Name" Masters degrees, you may be better of with the $24K MBA from Boston University.

I agree with bjcheung77. Go for a masters degree, have you thought about HES (Harvard extension school)? Their masters degree in management cost around $35K, or going Edx route (MIT supply chain certificate), then HES masters in management will cost around $22K. That's around the same cost as Columbia or UCLA certificates.

Do you get an @harvard.edu email with HES? I genuinely do not know. I know this Columbia certificate gets the OP an @columbia.edu email along with Alumni status. That’s huge in the business world.

Yes. user-name@g.harvard.edu - https://www.extension.harvard.edu/resour...l-services
HES - Yes. Alumni status - https://alumni.extension.harvard.edu/about
HES is part of Harvard University - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Extension_School

note: I don't understand the demand for the email addresses? I have been in the business world for the past 20 years and never come across a demand for a school's email address. Can you please explain further the benefits of the email address?

Hello!

I also don't understand the demand for the email address. It's not like you can send email from it. It's just an email forwarding service for alumni.
