UND offers in-state tuition for all distance students. This means that their AACSB-accredited MBA program's total cost is just over $12,000, a fantastic value.
Just like many other AACSB MBAs, they do require that prerequisite courses be taken if you don't have a business background, but UND will let you use "challenge exams" to test out of those classes, keeping your degree costs down, and possibly saving some time, too.
A highly accredited MBA from a low-cost, well-established state school, and definitely worth a look.
UND's online MPA program has been simply outstanding. Although I am a California resident, I formed relationships with fellow students in Grand Forks and across the country. My professors were very accessible and I spoke with them regularly, even though there was a two hour time difference. Classes were delivered in a format that was conducive to discussion and I got to participate just as much, if not more than students present in the classroom in Grand Forks. I learned from practitioners and scholars within the field of public administration. Furthermore, I was given all the tools necessary to effectively develop, implement, and assess policy and was made aware of the issues that current public administrators face and how to successfully address them. I am very happy with my choice and am coming out of the program ready to be an administrator at a higher level and well prepared to begin my doctoral studies. I highly recommend the program.
