Hellenic American University MBA: Overview of $3K RA MBA

[Maniac Craniac]

They've accepted me.  However, they are not associated with the National Student Clearing House transcript verification service. I discovered this when trying to submit my official transcripts.  The dean just wrote me and confirmed they are not registered with them.  This is red flag for me

Sorry, but I don't understand. That service has nothing to do with a school's quality or credibility.

HAU is a little known, small, regionally accredited, private non-profit. That works for some people, but not for others.

In my case, it would make no difference if I had an MBA from HAU or an MBA from, say, University of Illinois. I'd rather put the $17,000 difference into buying my first house, which is likely to be a much better financial investment.

I should note that I wasn't going to do the HAU MBA at full price. There are plenty of other options within that range, and HAU's business programs don't in any way stand out from the pack. It was this deal that tipped my hand in favor of doing the program, so I struck while the iron was hot. 

I expect to be challenged, to learn a lot, and to have a nicer looking resumé at the end of the program. I'll report back here whether my expectations have been met
