List of Cheap Online MBA Programs That Can Be Completed in Under 1 Year

[SophiaPrincess]

What do you think about the Boston University OMBA program? It's fully online, costs $25,000, and takes two years to complete. It's very comparable to the iMBA.
Which is more prestigious: Questrom School of Business or Gies College of Business?

They are both great schools with solid reputations. Gies used to rank higher than Questrom. Since Gies went online only, they are no longer submitting data to be ranked. Questrom's online program is also unranked. Gies requires 72 credits for their MBA, as I recall, but courses are 4 credit hours. Some have reported that the workload is no more than 3 credit hour courses. 

Questrom has innovative/creative/weird course titles that would be difficult to transfer if you changed schools. Since all Gies master's degrees are online only, employers will know your degree was earned online. It might not matter. Questrom continues its residential MBA. Gies has a HUGE global alumni network, but Questrom is stronger in New England. I can't speak authoritatively to the quality of an alumni network comprised of graduates who have never stepped foot on campus. Still, I suspect alumni with stronger ties to their alma mater will support each other more strongly.

Please let us know what you decide and your experience as a student.
