Cheapest/Easiest Master's? Hellenic, WGU, UMPi?

[nykorn]

I have a question regarding the Hellenic MBA; I know it is RA, but does the lack of business school accreditation affect it a lot, potentially for immigration purposes?

No. In the case of evaluating US schools for immigration, foreign countries (immigration offices) usually look at regional or national accreditation. What matters is if the school or what it is accredited by is on the national or state Board of Education's list (the state the school itself is registered in, not a random state) as a recognized, accredited school. These state lists usually do NOT include any sort of business school only accreditation. So you can be a "Business School" accredited by a business agency/alliance but not be on the state list, in which case you usually count the same as an unaccredited school.

There are some countries which don't even check accreditation, they just check to see the school is real (has an actual address, website, etc) or check to see that the diploma actually came from the school. And there are a few countries that would accept Business accreditation despite the school not having state/national accreditation. Some countries accept national accreditation, and others only accept regional. But I have never heard of a country that would reject regional accreditation just because you are lacking Business accreditation - this is especially true because in most countries Business is not a field requiring an exclusive license (unlike, say, surgery).

With regard to Hellenic, while it is a brick and mortar school, the MBA is an online only program and would not provide an immigration visa.

Incorrect, online only degrees certainly provide visas, most countries do not see them as separate from brick and mortar schools and the fact that it was an online program is not usually noted on your transcript or diploma in the first place. The only country I have heard of so far that rejects online schools is India, if you are thinking of immigrating to India you should note that as it is an extreme minority in immigration practices. Japan, Sweden, Taiwan, etc all accept online degrees for immigration purposes.
