Online MBA

[Drlapi]

Hello!

I am an already seasoned (6yr post fellowship) attending in genetics in a large academic center, and am seriously considering pursuing an online MBA with focus in healthcare management, to land a bigger Chief title and/or go into hospital administration, or the biotech arena (which I already work as consultant for at the moment as well).

I would love advice on any online MBA that is considered at least decent, and possibly under 15k (under 10 even better!!!).

Thank you 🙂

Tuition may be higher if you need to take foundation courses.
University of Central Arkansas (around 11.6K)
Fort Hays State University (around 11.9K without foundation courses or 16.1K if need to take foundation courses)
Southeastern Oklahoma State University (around 12K) - this only has a Healthcare Information System concentration

Theres also Western Governors University as well. They have an Healthcare management program. I got my MBA from there.

I found a few other that are less than $20k total (one barely over 10k).

Louisiana State University - Shreveport for $12.5k (part of the actual LSU system and not just stealing the name like some entities out there).

University of Louisiana - Lafeyette/LA Tech for $13k.

University of Missouri as mentioned above at around $11k.

University of North Texas at $17k

University of Louisiana Lafayette is the best accredited online program for the money. That being said, accreditation really only means something if wanted to get into academics later on (teaching business students, etc). I'm about 2/3 through the program and its painful but good skills to have, makes you better rounded in life.

Be wary of Lamar. They don't try hard to keep program accreditation, and their AACSB stamp could disappear as suddenly as their CACREP accred did - info they withheld from students for fully _four months_ after they received official and final word from CACREP that were losing it.
