MBA Alt Credit

[ThatBankDude]

When I begin my MBA, I did not find alt credit sources for grad students. Transfer credit is typically from one school to another when it comes to grad studies.

That's what I've found so far as well.  I'd love to save some cash and time with alt credit.  So far I've self-funded my collegiate studies so I'm always looking for a way to save a buck or three.

There are very few sources for alternative graduate level credits, and the few that there are don't fit for an MBA - and even fewer schools that take them, and those that do (non-MBA) would have remaining coures required that would cost far more than anything we'd recommend here. With that said, a MBA with a quick and lower cost option is what you're after then a competency-based program like WGU is probably your best bet. By the time you'd get through an alternative credit option you could be through a course(s) in such a program. If lower cost and you want to work it one course at a time then you might want to look at HAU's program ($3k for those in the US, and also reported for Canada). I have a family member who went with HAU and the ROI has been amazing.  https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...ersity-HAU

HAU has a great price but lacks any business accreditation so it's a no from me.  When I say afforable for self pay I'm meaning more like $10-15k.  Right now I'm looking at Georgia Southwestern, LSU-S, SOSU and a few others.  The alt credit was just something I was curious about while I wait for the fall.

I completed my MBA at Southeastern Oklahoma State University back in 2019. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
