Your Location: United States in Texas
Your Age: 33
What kind of degree do you want?: Easy MBA and 2nd master's degree
Current Regional Accredited Credits: TAMUC bachelor's degree
Any certifications or military experience? No
Budget: Degree costs don't matter to me under the range of doctorates/law school/art degrees.
Commitments/Dedicated Time To Study/Timeline: Can make my own time to do everything I need. I prefer CBE, but I don't mind taking my time slowly even if it costs more.
Tuition assistance/reimbursement: I'll probably start the degree slowly and acquire employer reimbursement if needed/possible depending on the options.
Lurker here, hi. I've completed a TAMUC degree, to share some experience. To be honest, I think it's better than UMPI overall [if you're really confident for purely convenience]. If you transfer in Texas Government, it's doable in one term too, if you blitz classes every few days. Even if not, Texas Government isn't that difficult as long as you save essay questions for post-tests. Unlike UMPI, you don't have to do an annoying Sophia lab, communication requirement, and foreign language. The tuition cost is covered regardless if you're in Texas or not, whether employer tuition reimbursement or loans. The name brand is better. UMPI seems to take more class work to do [although you get more "time" to do them]. I guess UMPI's advantages are the time to do all classes within one term "easily" [and not needing Sophia for speed if you don't like the format for some reason I guess], and that there's more degree "options" for IT. Anyhow, I'm looking to do an easy and fast master's degree [but not WGU, as I want non-proctoring]. I'm not interested in UMPI, I think it's worse than TAMUC and looking at posts here it has too much writing for the master's.
I'd like to get 2 master's degrees. The Professional Studies from Bellevue University seems easy and I don't care about prices due to how grad plus loans work. I'd like to get an easy MBA though as well and I'm not sure if they're the best option for that. SNHU also seems to be good, but I don't know how it compares. Also, I'd like to avoid math-involved MBA and excessive Excel. I'm aware that a good MBA consists of networking, the best accreditng, and it's ranking whatnot. That's not my priority, I feel like "2 master's degrees" is enough for job markets. I can always go to another college later in my life.
In summary or TLDR: Professional/Interdisciplinary Studies if possible. Easy as the priority and non-proctor, transfer of credits for a 2nd master's, CBE/competency would be good. MBA, prefer not to do a dozen essays 10+ pages, Brightspace maybe. Price and reputation doesn't matter much. Southern/mid-state universities preferred.
Preliminary Research: Bellevue University first non-CBE and/or SNHU probably. CBE University of Phoenix [easy?, don't care about bad reputation, MBA] fast option. CBE Purdue Global MBA looks difficult, but has Professional Studies non-CBE?
