Saylor starting an MBA program?!

[KSoul]

That data analytics track just sweetened the pot for me. Will definitely keep an eye on this program.

I'm guessing the courses would all be self paced like the rest of Saylor? In that case one could slowly finish a class here or there and wait for accreditation (assuming they're pursuing it) before finishing the last few classes. Keep in mind that accreditation is generally a multi-year process so don't hold your breath on that one.

Curious as to why you would wait as it doesn't matter if they never get accredited, and if they do and you complete it before, upon a search, it is an accredited degree. HR is not doing a back check on the date in most cases. By the numbers, HR is doing an average review at best, and we continue to see issues when shady degrees get exposed long after the individual was hired.

Accreditation does matter for me. My current employer thoroughly vetted my prior work and education and I wouldn't stake my future career prospects on hoping someone gets lazy. Also, since I intend to teach in the future, accreditation matters a LOT and they DO check. Also, I'm in no rush to complete an MBA right now anyway, I have a few other education/certification/career goals to do over the next few years before I intend to focus on pursuing an MBA(or similar).

Odd response, as I never projected accreditation did not matter and only responded to the approach to 'wait to finish' until accreditation. Since it matters A LOT, why even entertain a degree that is not accredited? That is the action of someone unsure about their position, or this would not even be on the board independent of the expected timeframe to start an MBA.

Either way, best of luck with your aspirations.
