Is there any way to enrol into the WGU MBA program as an international student? - FM1 - 04-22-2024
I need to get an MBA as a chech box qualification so not concerned with getting an MBA with a top tier school but do want an accredited MBA thats reasonably cheap that I can knock out in 6 - 12 months. WGU meets all those requirements so trying to enrol into their MBA program but they don't accept international students. I'm trying to work out if there is some sort of workaround I can use to enrol.

Only if you are in Canada in specific areas
Check this thread for some possible options

asked them before:
"Hello!
We appreciate your interest in Western Governors University. Unfortunately at this time, we are unable to accept applications from individuals residing outside of the United States, with the exception of active-duty U.S. service members or their spouses stationed at an overseas U.S. installation.
We understand that this news may be disappointing, and we want to assure you that this decision was not made lightly. As a university committed to providing exceptional service to all of our students, we have found that challenges such as time zone differences, challenges locating secured, proctored testing centers, and difficulty in providing quality mentoring can create barriers for our international students.
We hope that as WGU continues to grow, we will be able to overcome these challenges and revisit the possibility of accepting international students. Thank you for considering Western Governors University, and we wish you all the best in your educational pursuits.
Kind Regards,
Your WGU Team!"

Ah yes, there are many institutions to select from within that list, such as the MBA from HAU for $3K, it's the best option for the price... Have a look at the linked thread for other options that can be done within the year. There are always workarounds, if you really want WGU, easy, fly here for a few months as an international student, stay until you're done with WGU, then fly back... Voila!

The PUG MBA is CBE, though I don't know how fast it would be as we don't have much feedback on it.
As bjcheung77 mentioned, the MBA from HAU for $3K would be the best option for price.

The HAU $3k MBA is only open to US (and some of areas of Canada).

You can always try other CBE options listed (if any, here), or the for-profits such as Walden https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-List-of-Cheap-Online-MBA-Programs-That-Can-Be-Completed-in-Under-1-Year

Looks like HAU is a good option but from what I can see, the $3k offer is for US students only with no idication given of the costs for international and online students.

This seems like a decent option although they are not RA'd but do have accreditation from DEAC.

Non-RA universities can be problematic for international students. Some countries (still) don't count them as being university degrees. NA institutions are viewed more akin to continuing education or vocational schools.

That's right, not sure why you're focusing on NA/DEAC or anything in the US. Have a look at UK options, do the Level 7/Level 8 diploma and top-up to a Masters, MBA or whatever you're looking for. You can do that for the price of $5K and that's including the Level 7 diploma... review my previous threads on these...
