You may struggle with transferring it to an MBA program because it's NA. Most MBA programs in the US are RA. Those that accept transfer credit typically only accept RA credit. Additionally, quite often they don't allow graduate transfer credits to be used in another completed degree. It's usually only unused credits that are transferable. Best to find an MBA program that would accept NA credits before completing an NA degree then finding out you can't apply it anywhere.

I know three RA schools that accept NA credits , Liberty University , American College of Education , and Columbia Southern University . The credits they accept are a really up to the school.
Also University of Phoenix and American Public University System might still take N.A. credits , not sure because I never applied but read in the past they have accept them.

Enough "RA" schools take credits from "NA" schools today that there is no need to make small lists as if only a handful will take them. It's not 2002 anymore. Just approach the schools you're interested in and ask.

Undergrad take more than grad programs. Many grad programs are very particular. Quite often there are admissions requirements and restrictions for specific programs and not necessarily the entire graduate program. MBA's are notorious for additional admissions requirements. Been there. Done that.

Just trying to help people looking for programs that might accept them by saving them the work. Now it’s up to the person to check with any other school. Doesn’t matter if it’s 2002 or 2024 a helping hand is a helping hand

Oh, without a doubt. The only reason I'm even pondering this is because of how extraordinarily inexpensive it is.

I wonder how many of my ENEB classes would be considered for transfer with one of those fancy evaluations that considers them grad-level
