Patten University MBA $349/month discounted tuition

[TheCommuter]

Hello, everyone...

I just got off the phone with an enrollment representative from Patten U. It was mostly an informational phone conversation to learn more details and get all my questions answered. I am interested in the MBA program with a concentration in human resources.

The advertised tuition for Patten U's graduate degree programs is $520/month. However, the guy with whom I spoke offered me a discounted rate of $349/month if I agreed to a start date of August 31st. Since I had initially wanted to start in September, moving the start date to the end of August would be no big deal to me.

The $349 monthly tuition would be in effect for one year. Since I was planning to finish the program in a year or less, this will work for me. I still have not yet enrolled because I need to give this educational venture some more thought, but the idea of earning a regionally accredited masters degree for $4,000 is tantalizing.

The MBA program's prerequisite courses are college algebra and microeconomics, but I was told that another previously completed college-level math course could be used to fulfill the algebra requirement. I completed a statistics course through WGU last year and hope Patten U will accept it. If they insist I take college algebra, I probably will not enroll.
