Walden - MBA fast & cheapest option for my situation? - Kjf1 - 04-10-2020 HI! I don’t mean to belittle that fact that an MBA is important but I am needing one for a promotion opportunity. It is simply required. I have taken 27 credits from an international MBA program 7 years ago and due to health issues, I didn’t compete the program. That was roughly 9 classes that are 8 years old. It cover basic graduate level finance, marketing, accounting, leadership, management - etc I have began researching for online Universities that might accept my courses to transfer. I was referred by mostly all universities to getting it evaluated first by a NACES approved member, but it will cost me money, time and hassle. To my surprise, Walden offers free evaluation of International transcripts. So far they considered 5 classes transferable out of the 10 courses required to earn a standard MBA degree (one being the capstone and the non credit “business essentials course”) So basically It boils down to 5 remaining classes. But to my surprise, the cost is still not a joke, unless I’m suppose to find it really cheap at the price I calculated? I have been considering TEMPO (competency based) but they don’t have it for the standard MBA, and only for a specialization in Healthcare Management or Project Management. This is an additional 3 Graduate level courses. So basically my options are
I do understand Walden is a for profit school. But my Purpose of earning is a simply for the opportunity at work, although It would be awesome to earn an MBA in the USA! Any recommendations would be appreciated based on my limited terms. Thank you.

Why not finish the degree there if they do? RE: Walden - MBA fast & cheapest option for my situation? - Leslie2828 - 04-10-2020 You need to get it evaluated first if it’s an international degree.

Do you think the ENEB “Groupon“ is something you can get NACES evaluated to transfer or something?

WGU while a good option for some, they do not accept transfer credit for grad programs so that is out.

From what I understand you are looking for speed and cost, in this case WGU or Walden (tempo) are probably your best options even if you can’t transfer courses.

However, Walden would cost me roughly 12k for the Fast-Track with 5 classes remaining VS the TEMPO with 8 classes remaining. I’m not sure how long it will take for me to complete the competency based type. WGU is not on my list though after careful deliberation. |
