Their MS in Finance is a $72,000 on-campus program. I’ll pass, thanks.(06-14-2024, 08:42 PM)freeloader Wrote: Good for you! Will you keep us posted about your experience at Illinois-Springfield? Always good to hear people’s experience. I would like to hear about your online experience personally, and I suspect others as well, because that university offers one of the cheapest AACSB accredited master’s degrees in finance.
I am in IL currently, it’s a pretty minor school here, similar to UMPI in Maine probably. Personally, I would just go to U of I on Coursera....
I am acquiring my MBA currently, so I am not looking for another MBA and UIUC probably wouldn’t admit me for a second MBA anyway.
Also, I briefly attended Illinois Springfield not long after it acquired its current name. I liked the school then and would be proud to have a degree from it, particularly given that they have a degree that I want (online masters in finance form an AACSB university) at a reasonable price.
I am just saying that it is a pretty minor school and OP stated stated name recognition is a concern for them
