Does anyone know THE cheapest online MBA, regardless of reputation of the school, and regardless of accrediations.

Not counting offers like this, which I believe must be scam/fraud:

We do not provide information on Diploma Mill's.

Please go away

I will not go away, because I am not asking for information about on Diploma Mills. This is just your presumption. I look after a valid MBA, but it does not has to be accredited by God himself. Less will do. I am looking for a "normally good" MBA that won´t rip me for all my money. My guess would be that in my country almost none of my potential employers would have the slightest idea about which accrediation is good, and which accrediation is not so good, so why should I pay a lot of money for something that are not appreciated ?

So my guess is I stay here a bit longer.

Hi

If you want a GOOD MBA with DECENT accreditation, it doesn't come any cheaper than South African schools. Try Milpark or Mancosa (Management College of South Africa) and 16 others you could easily find by googling "MBA + South Africa." They're all cheap and well-accredited. SAQA degrees there usually equate to RA in the US. That's an observation, not a guarantee.

Any SA MBA will cost WAY less than any RA or NA North American MBA.

If you want a REALLY CHEAP American degree, and are willing to do some coursework for it, look at St. James College. Their accreditation is by a Bible School Accreditor unrecognized by CHEA. They're not classified as a mill -- they don't sell degrees, although you'll likely do less work than you would for ANY MBA with recognized accreditation. But then, you said you don't really care about the accreditor, didn't you?

Here are the web links to start with:

www.milpark.co.za
www.mancosa.co.za
www.saintjamescollege.org

Please note the 2 SA schools I listed are .co because they are private for-profit colleges. These are relatively new as degree-granting schools in SA but all accredited through SAQA. A Google search will also reveal the traditional universities with .ac domains like www.unisa.ac.za. They may be even cheaper. South African schools look so cheap to us in North America because their currency has depreciated so much against ours in past years.

There's only one place I know that's even cheaper than ANY of these schools and that's Indira Gandhi National Open University in India. INCREDIBLY cheap, well-accredited but you may be a long way from an exam centre - or maybe not. They have them in quite a few countries and if not in yours, an Indian Embassy may suffice. Have a look at www.ignou.ac.in

Someone out there has what you want. Apply energy and diligence to your search. Once you have chosen a school, apply the same to your studies. I wish you every success!

Thanx a lot for this very informative answer. Much appreciated

Mississippi State, Lake Superior State, Southwest University, Andrew Jackson & Amberton University are all very inexpensive. Amberton is $675/3 hr course, that is Cheap..$6-7k is the cheapest accredited you will find.

I think Johann has the best info for you, but I thought I would include this just for your(and anyone else interested). Here is a list of the best buy in MBA from geteducated.com, a good source of information about accredited online degrees(I know this is not your concern).

Hi -

If there's a catch, I don't know what it is - unless this is a school OTHER than the one I think is involved: Aspen University.

The only accredited school I know of that charges anywhere near as low as $4,500 for MBA tuition (if paid up-front) is Aspen. It's a great school - DETC accredited and we've discussed it before. I'm sure we have a couple of members who are enrolled there and they can tell you how good it is!

I'd be surprised if www.cheapestmba.com is not referring to Aspen. They (cheapestmba) are discounting the program by $250! If you enquire through them, they'll have the University contact you, etc.

I'd guess it works this way: cheapestmba provides the school with leads. The school agrees to discount the fee by $250 for any leads who sign up under the prepayment plan - and cheapestmba gets a small commission.

If it IS Aspen -- sounds like a plan: get $250 off an already smokin' deal. If it's NOT Aspen - then all bets are off till we find out who it is!

If you ever call the guy, could you please give us the name of universities he offer?

I am really interested in publishing them,

I also emailed the guy, will keep you inform if he provides me with a list of universities without charging me.

Cheers.
