Check Wikipedia for the list of AACSB accredited schools. If it were unattainable, then it wouldn't matter, but on another forum I've seen some talk about Jacksonville State University, which is RA AND AACSB. It appears that the MBA is a 36 hr. program. Here's the info I found:
Jacksonville State University JSU Online : Jacksonville State University Distance Learning offers the MBA General and the MBA Accounting via DL. At $225/hr., the 30-54 hr. MBA General costs $6,750-$12,150 and the 36-60 hr. MBA Accounting costs $8,100-$13,500. They are accredited by the Southern Association and the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. |
Great info Michael - I agree with you on getting someone to pay for the MBA. Fortunately my work will pay up to 5K per year, so I am going to use it while I have it...
I did check into JSU - the fees have gone up to $300/credit hour...but the AACSB is very nice. I did not think that there was an AACSB school for this cheap. I'm still not sure if it is worth the extra $90/credit hour from Chadron and the program looks a little less user friendly, longer courses, etc., but I am looking into it.
