ACCEPTED INTO MBA PROGRAM!!

[FMitchell5036]

Hi all, 

Haven't been on here in a while but wanted to check in. Also, wanted to go through the threads because doing some research on getting a Doctoral degree. Anyway, just wanted to update you that I have just completed 5 of 10 classes needed for my MBA at Univ. of Texas Permian Basin, w/ "A" grades in every single class. Trying to graduate with an 4.0. Fingers crossed. The UTPB program is great and most of the professors are great too. The classwork is what you would expect from an MBA program that is AACSB accredited. Some classes are harder than others, I don't like a lot of writing so I think the classes where you read and take an exam with less writing and one project due at the end are most enjoyable. Some classes have more writing than others but I still manage to pull an A as they don't grade really hard as long as you follow the Rubric.

Here are the classes I've taken so far and what I have left. I am still on track to graduate in December of this year.

Spring 1 - Business and Legal Environment & Production and Operations Management
Spring 2 - Information Systems Management & Financial Manangement
Summer 1 - International Business
Summer 2 (Currently Enrolled) - HR Managment & Marketing Management
Fall 1 (Future) - Marketing Analytics
Fall 2 (Future) - Corporate Finance & Strategic Management

This program is so cheap as it's only $1043/ per class with no other fees. I get tuition reimbursement from my job of $3500 per year. I already rec'd the max for this year. But employees have up until 90 days after a class ends to submit grades and request reimbursement so I will be able to get reimbursed for the 3 classes I take in the Fall when the new calendar year starts in January 2022. Plus I received an $1155 scholarship from the school. Bringing down by total out of pocket cost to a little over $2600 for a AACSB accredited MBA. Where there is a will there is a way!

So excited. Still trying to figure out what is next for me. Currently looking at TESU's DBA program, also peeked at Walden and Capella's doctoral programs, but all those aren't AACSB accreditation ( I want to keep the door open for maybe teaching in the future). About to start looking at foreign online AACSB programs (if they exist) and maybe some brick & mortar programs close to home in the NJ/PA area. Trying to keep cost as low as possible but I know that is going to be hard if I definitely want to go the AACSB route. We'll see, I keep going back and forth if ACBSP is ok.
