DBA/AACSB/Online/Cheap... does this exist?

[NolaRice]

I've been trying to talk myself out of doing a PhD due to cost and lack of flexibility... and of course this board comes up with the perfect option 

Hehe. Since my MBA is about done, I'm weighing my options for my next degree. I want to keep moving forward education-wise, but I think I'll be taking a break from academia until 2020 at least. It's time to get back into the workforce for a bit. But once I get settled in, and find an employer that is willing to subsidize my education, I'm torn between starting on a doctorate or going back for a specialized master's degree.

Considering I went from no degree to an AA, BS, and MBA in the course of 18 months, my wife is telling me that she's next. She already has a bachelor's degree but is considering an ALM in Creative Writing from Harvard Extension School. So it may be a while until I get a chance to start on a PhD or DBA.

That's extremely impressive. I've been preaching the benefits of non-traditional education and alternative college credits around me. So many people have a mental block and think that a bachelors' degree takes 4 years and must be done butt in seat. Yay for your wife going back to school, so exciting!

How many months did it take you to complete the BS and MBA, individually?

Maybe I'll see you around in 2020 when we're both applying to PhD programs
