Anyone have a recommendation for a legitimate MBA degree that can be taken online?

I have friends who have gotten degrees from the University of Liverpool. But checking their web site, the fee for an MBA is currently $34,000. Obviously, the value in getting an MBA will exceed $34,000, so although high priced it is not necessarily a bad value.

Now, on the low end, there is a program called Aspen University offering Masters degrees "for under $6,000" according to their Google Ad. Now, looking at their web site, it appears their MBA program consists of 11 courses, and courses are $900 each. But buried in the fine print is the detail that most courses are only $200 if purchased in advance, so that's significant savings.

There's a Canadian University called Athabasca U, which claims to have the world's first online MBA. Well, they're asking for $42,000 and I think part of the course is done in person at their campus. So I think I'll pass on that one.

Hmmm, not sure what I will do. Some of the MBA programs look appealing (MBA in Entrepreneurship for instance). But for $30,000-$50,000, I might be better off buying myself a small BMW.

I work for Laureate Education and we offer MBA programs through Walden University. There should be a very interesting program choice for you through Walden's Global MBA program.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you have questions or would like to speak with one of our specialist enrollment advisors for the MBA program.
