If/when it launches, it would be unaccredited. Anyone can take the courses right now, they just can’t enroll just yet. It’s still in Beta testing or whatever they call it
With the million of affordable and accredited MBA options out there, what would possess someone to do this?
From what I understand, this will be free other than the usual $5.00 per course exam. They will eventually seek accreditation. Some may do it if it’s all they can afford, or if they want to just use it for personal enrichment, or they just want to be a guinea pig and try it out.
Saylor exams are notoriously difficult. I have every intention of completing this program as my actual, for-realsies MBA once it expands past Florida residents. As long as they have legal degree granting authority from the state, Saylor is adequate for my needs.
Grad degrees are rarely exam based...you arent there to regurgitate information.

HW still has the MBA and other Masters that are exam based, it's pretty cheap even though they bumped the pricing, it used to be about 10K, but now it's 14.5K roughly.
20% off if you 'buy all at once' as an upfront fee reduction,
