Fort Hayes - Masters in Liberal Arts - Global Management

I think WGU's MS in Management is a little more business-y than APU, and certainly cheaper.  But if you don't want a competency-based program, APU seems like a good alternative.  I like their rolling starts, 8-week courses, the format just seems good to me.

I've looked into ENMU's MBA program, and the whole semester thing is what keeps putting me off (it's a $9000 MBA).  I just cannot keep interest in a class for a full semester.  Way too painful.  Week 12, and I'm OUT!

I've found Study.com's model (bite sized chunks of info, test on the material, move on) to be ideal for my ADD-addled style of learning. While I realize that most programs aren't set up exactly like this, I'd like to find one that uses something of a similar model.

I think that might make competency-based learning a bit more appealing to me. I'm thinking there will be opportunities for me to move quickly through areas where I have a solid knowledge base, which will motivate me to keep going, as opposed to having to slog through a 15 week semester, regardless of how easy or difficult the material is for me.

I'm not certain this is how competency-based works, in terms of being like Study.com.  Not at all.  I think you're comparing apples to oranges on that.

But I do get the part about not wanting to slog through a course you already know a lot about over 16 weeks.  On the other hand, if you already knew the material, it probably wouldn't be much of a slog, because it would be easy.
