I came across this somewhere online and haven't seen it mentioned here but Smart.ly currently has a free MBA program. https://smart.ly/prices/students Yes, you do need a bachelor's degree in the first place.
Two points to consider: They are NOT accredited regionally or nationally (only licensed by DC: https://support.smart.ly/article/203-is-...accredited ), though they claim to be seeking accreditation right now. But it might be a good option for people who want to "practice" MBA coursework or otherwise do it for fun. Second, you'd need to apply by March 25th for their next start date. Their FAQs are a bit confusing in regards to start dates and what comes after April. Did they just start doing this? Maybe! No idea.
It also appears that you can do some of the courses without applying for anything, but you don't get any sort of credits for this route. Of course, since it's not currently accredited anyway, this may not be a problem for someone who just wants another study resource.
There is also a $9600 MBA option but, since they are not accredited, that is potentially a serious waste of money at this point in time.
