Looking for an MBA program - need recommendations
#1
All,

I'm at the mid-point of my career in IT - 26 years in March.  During that time, i've managed organizations, been a team lead and task lead, managed projects, and had other management related assignments.

Three years ago, I took a new job with a new employer.  Even though I have plenty of management experience, in order to move into management with my new employer, I have to have a Master's Degree.  The only requirement is that it the degree granting school/college/university has to be accredited with the US Department of Education.  My employer will also pay for the Master's.  I honestly dread having to go back to school - my undergrad experience wasn't the greatest - but I will do what I need to do to get promoted.

I've looked at an MBA, but it can also be a master's in program management or something similar.  I have an undergrad degree in Management Information Systems, 3.77 GPA. My employer does not require a PhD for anything, and I really don't want one, so the master's would not be a stepping stone for a PhD.

So, i'm looking for a program to start in 2019.  I'm looking more for a self-paced (flexible) online program that I can complete quickly.  I would prefer to have a writing-based program, instead of one with proctored tests.  It would also be nice to find a program that would give me credit for work experience and the certifications that I have.

I've looked into Perdue Global and Strayer University, and I was wondering what other programs are out there that would be a good fit?

Thanks in advance!
