A competency-based Accelerated MBA is listed in the current (2022-23) UMass Global catalog which wasn't listed in the 2021-22 catalog. "This program is pending WASC Senior College and University Commission (WSCUC) and U.S. Department of Education approval," the overview page currently states.

Three years since I first noticed this CBE MBA listed in the UMass Global catalog but unavailable to students, the program's page in the current catalog no longer states the program is pending approval from their regional accreditors WSCUC (WASC).
It does still state "This program is pending U.S. Department of Education approval." But there's more. At this landing page, UMass Global now states Quote:For a limited time, this accelerated, AI-supported MBA program is available exclusively to our partner organizations. Designed for working professionals, this fully online program allows you to earn your degree in as little as 12–18 months, move at your own pace, and gain the skills needed to advance your career—faster and more efficiently than traditional in-person programs. It's promoted as AI-driven: Quote:At the heart of the program is Sage, our AI-powered learning companion. Sage provides instant feedback on assignments, offers on-demand tutoring, and supports you every step of the way. The current posted tuition is very good: $1500 per 6-month period. It's certainly possible this is a promotional rate that will no longer be available at general public launch, especially when they receive Department of Education approval to offer student loans. (UMass Global's one other current graduate program, an MAOL, is currently $3800 per 6-month period.) Students currently must work for an employer that is a partner with UMass Global.

I wonder how you find out who their partner companies are or how you get your employee on the list.
