I began enrolling 24 hours ago and it feels like I'm not close to done.
But not doing the MBA. I plan to pay more elsewhere to get a different MBA concentration.
At Walden, I'm aiming for an $1800 Masters  With fees, I guess it will push over $2000. But I need time off after my first term.

Thank you for reminding me that I had nothing to lose by inquiring on this. I think it is good that we're both doing the MBA but different concentrations - it will likely benefit the forum with both areas being pursued. Now we just need a few others to sign up for the Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) and the MS in Early Childhood Studies and we'll have all the competency-based programs offering the First Term Free covered.

Will decide this weekend - but probably going MHA - it's faster for me, as I have 40 years in healthcare.

It looks like we have them all covered.
Too bad Walden doesn't have CAHME accreditation. It's not really needed unless you want to join USPHS, though.

I am doing the early childhood/administration MS. I am hoping to earn enough Ed. Leadership courses to get an administrative certificate. I was accepted this afternoon.

Threads like this are why I'm convinced that I will someday have an MBA despite having no need/desire for one. But how can I pass up a cheap degree?
