UCLA Extension Post-MBA $1,900

[Alpha]

I just got word that UCLA Extension's post-MBA program will launch January 2022.  It's $1,900 total for 10 short courses (5 required and 5 electives).

It's basically an MBA refresher program for those who got their MBAs years ago.  Lots of interesting courses.  I am seriously considering it because I can reimburse it as part of my company benefits.  
Also, a "Post-MBA" qualification from UCLA will probably look good on a resume.  

Just remember that it's not UCLA, it's UCLA Extension (different part of the school, pretty common now to find these but you're not a UCLA grad when you come out); and they're not grad-level credits, so it's not necessarily something you can put on your resume.

I would also check your reimbursement policy to make sure that they will count.  RA school but credits that aren't RA may not work - these are maybe CEU's which aren't always reimbursable.

With a certificate you would be a UCLA alum.

Ok - but you can't put that you got your certificate from UCLA, you have to say UCLA Extension.  Different things.  If you meet someone who went to UCLA and say "I got a certificate through UCLA Extension", they will not think "oh, this guy went to my school."  They will scoff.  They will not consider you an equal.

Not saying it's not worth doing, but it's definitely not "UCLA."

I'm not prepared to immediately accept this as true.  UCLA Extension is a part of UCLA and this is stated clearly on the page

"We are UCLA, offering exceptional continuing, lifelong, and professional education to empower individuals and organizations to thrive in an ever changing world." 

"All courses, certificate programs, and course specializations offered by UCLA Extension have been developed and are administered in accordance with UCLA and UCLA Extension policy and the regulations of the Academic Senate of the University of California." 

Also, people enroll in such programs in order to learn new skills, brush up, etc. not to impress others.  People will not scoff.  Not everyone is an asshole.  People will not look down on you as being unequal simply because you went to a different school.  Most people are better than that.
