if people can get two masters @ $300, that is HUGE for the purposes of us here on this forum. but i want the actual proof that it's evaluated as such, and not speculation.
i don't think it pans out.
Others may have a different take on it, but here's how I look at it:
1). If nothing else, I'm finally going to learn some Spanish. This is a can I've been kicking down the freeway for 20 years. Yes, the program is in English, and I literally just started it yesterday, but I took a peek ahead at the final assignment for the Strategic Management module, and it requires evaluating the business model for a website that's in Spanish. Yeah, I know, Google Translate will do the whole page into Anglais, but why not take advantage of the semi-forced opportunity to do things in Spanish? And do the Spanish language course that's included, of course. For me, that alone is probably worth the $249 (I only did the MBA). Again, others may have a different take.
2). So far, poking around Moodle, there's more "meat" to this thing than I thought there would be. It's actually going to require some work. I'm self-employed, as well as a non-executive co-founder of a larger business, and I have aspirations for sitting on some startup boards in the future, so it looks like I might learn a thing or three that might actually be useful.
3). I work in an industry where having BS alphabet soup after your name matters. Even though it's a foreign titulo propio, it's still an MBA. If I actually do finish it all, you can bet your booty I'm adding ", MBA" after my name.
4). If I can get it evaluated for even 6 credits of UL business credit, it will be the final straw I need to sit for the CPA exam in my state. I have zero professional need to do so, but I'm otherwise eligible, so to add ", CPA" after my name would realize a significant personal achievement.
5). If it evaluates out to a giant goose egg, I will have something worth posting here about. Win!
