Need help for my wife - MBA!

[jayhawks1985]

About the desirable accreditation, that may be subjective.   You’d have to look at each to see if they have the ones she wants/needs according to her employer.  All of the schools that have been mentioned in the thread are regionally accredited, to my knowledge.  The business accreditation might vary.

Since she gets $10,000, I’d stick to that range, and skip the Hellenic American one.  It’s great for cost effectiveness, but might not fit her goals.  I would also skip all of the competency based.  I say this as a wife and mom who also works full time and has 10-15 hours a week available for school.   Competency based is great if you have time.  I had an opportunity to do a term for free a while back.  I got zero credits completed by the end of the term.  (To be fair, they had some silly zero credit courses required and I didn’t get much further than that).  When I did the math of how long it might take me, I would be looking at well over $30,000.

LSUS is a very strong choice.  I have a friend who went through the MBA-Project Management program and she enjoyed her experience.  If LSUS fits her employers parameters and fits her needs, I’d say go for it.  It’s a big enough school that I expect they have all of the resources she might need.  Such as a writing center (or similar) that will give feedback on papers.   This was extremely helpful in my first classes since I had been out of school for a very long time.  They will likely have career and alumni resources if she needs them too.

Please be sure to come back and let us know what she chooses and how she likes it.  I wish her all the best!
