I have a Bachelors degree and recently applied to a university for their MBA program. My application was denied because the school I went to was not accredited. I very much would like to continue my education and want to attend graduate school. Has anyone experienced this? \n\nCould you recommend a school that will accept my degree?

sorry there really is not a school.  Did you know your school was not accredited when you went there?  Or is it that they lost there accreditation after you graduated if that is the case you can appeal if not you are screwed

The University of Maryland has an online BA program, as does Colorado Tech, University of Baltimore, and countless others, I'm sure.  This should at least provide a jumping off point.\n\nWhat you want to look at with these online programs is the accreditation of the school - it should, at the very least, have a "directional" accreditation, such as "The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools".  The really good schools will have 3 or more accreditations from other organizations as well.\n\nI hope you find what you're looking for.  Good luck!

You list the graduate degree(s), not the Bachelor(s). If you have more than one Masters degree, for example, you list them in the order received. Once you receive your Ph.D., just list that.\n\nThere are many appropriate times to use your degrees with your name, so unless you are hiring someone to announce your entry into every room, you do not need to "get over yourself".

When considering which program to choose, always consider where you are heading in the future. This is the most important factor when comparing these two programs. Both degrees will serve you well, and whether one is better than the other depends solely on your career goals and how you plan to utilize your degree.\n\nTypically, an MBA program offers a more general education than an MS. \nHowever, MBA programs are constantly evolving, and they now tend to put more stress upon specializations and concentrations.\n\nAnother thing to consider is that MS programs are not subject to rankings like MBA programs are. Therefore, the prestige that is carried with MS programs is much less discriminating. \n\n\nAcademically, both programs are usually similar in difficulty. \nThere are some that say students in MS classes tend to be more academically inclined because they are there for different reasons than MBA students. This opinion is based on the thought that people who are going for an MBA are in it for the money, the career, and the title. Where as MS students are in it for other reasons-- most of them academic in nature. \n\nBecause not all schools offer an MBA and not all schools offer an MS in business, your first decision will be to decide which is more important, your program of choice or your school of choice. \nIf you’re lucky, you can have it both ways.\n\nGood Luck.

Ok apply...so what...Well should I say say congrats....Ok congrats...\n\n:) Jokes apart...You must be working? If so then symbio. degree will be helpful in your promotion...Just if in case the promotion is decided by a MBA degree.\n\nIf you are not working then don't go for correspondence.\n\nIf you don't want to do it full time and you want to do MBA in correspondence then it will be difficult.\n\nSo it's up to you to take the decision's.

Well, I am in the  same situation as you. I graduated from a CUNY school a couple years back with a horrible GPA. I need a decent GPA to get into a good graduate school. The options seem to be \n\nStudy really hard for the gmat/gre  and pass with a really good score with the help of something like Kaplan. And try and get some good recommendations and get help writing a great admissions essay.\n\n\nStart somewhat from scratch and get another degree.\n\nIt seems though that you have already decided to get another Bachelor's degree. What you will do is to file for readmission as a second degree student  at the school you graduated from and you will continue as if you never left the school.However, you if there were changes in the liberal arts requirements since you graduated, you will have to take those, unless there is some sort of grandfather clause, excusing you from this. As far as the pre-req you alrady have credit for them. With the exception of maybe science and  computer courses they MAY  have a time limit on how long those credits are valid for. Check with the registrar and admissions about the time limit  for those classes. If you plan on doing so for the fall I would advise you to do so quickly, registration for the fall is taking place. I don't know what school you are applying to but, the response is pretty quick for the readmission if you are in good standing with the school  i.e not owing money . You can also check to see if the form is available on the schools website (registrar's  section)  and the fee is pretty low. Hope I was helpful and good luck !

Corrections:\n1. Bacholar degree is wrong. It is bachelor's degree.\n2. MBA stands for Master of Business Administration; therefore, it is wrong to say, "master MBA."\n\nI think you should think twice about following a business career. I have heard from my well-educated acquaintances that many MBA graduates from prestigious schools cannot find a job very easily because of the high competition. I'm not saying it's easy to find a job with a mere bachelor's degree in biochemistry, but at least scientists are known to be bad spellers. With your unsatisfactory spelling, you will be laughed at in the business world.

Is the school accredited? will it's courses be accepted at other universities?  If not, don't waste money and time on a worthless degree.\n\nSay you get such a degree, then decide to go on and get additional schooling, only to find out nothing you took will be accepted at a university. \n\nMany real, brick and mortar universities offer a few online degree programs. Those are the real thing and would be the better option, assuming the brick university is accredited.\n\nAs for employers, say they want a nurse and your degree is entirely on line... where is the clinical experience and if the school is not accredited by the state, the training won't get you the job.  \n\nThere are a number of fake universities offering these type programs.  Check and double check their credentials.

I would suggest you first find a few universities that have the program of study that you want, and then contact their financial aid departments to ask them about their options. If you type "MBA program" into yahoo search, a lot of different universities come up. Here's a couple website that might be of use: \n\nhttp://www.fundingusstudy.org/dol/keyword_search_prod.asp?Type=Any

When I was an undergrad freaking out about my major, the best advice I got was to do the following: Pick up a copy of your university's catalog, somewhere near the front of it will most likely be a list of all the possible majors at your school.  Now, go through and cross off everything you know you definitly DON'T want to do.\n\nIt was simple advice but it helped me so much.  I was overwhelmed with possibilities, once I was able to narrow down my options (in this way), I felt like I could more easily choose.  \n\nI think that will help you a lot.\n\nThen, yes, go talk to your advisor and anyone else you know that has a job you might be interested in.\n\nAnd finally, your major does not decide your life.  Most businesses are interested in you having an undergraduate degree, from there you can always go to graduate school once you have a more specific set of career goals.

Technically, you should've been applying months ago.  Be prepared to sit around for a while FYI maybe you should think about grad school.  There are lots of online Universities to get an MBA or something.

If you have a degree from an accredited University, then you have made a great and arduous journey.  Online education is now a part of almost every major university in one form or another.  As education moves forward, online classes will become more of a norm.  If you have ever taken one from an accredited program, you know that they are no joke.  They require a level of discipline that only you can provide.  But they are also giving people the opportunity to get an education they would not otherwise have.  \n\nI do believe that the number of people with bachelor's degrees is increasing, because a bachelor's degree is required in more fields than ever before.  There are more people enrolled in post secondary education than ever before.  Its just the natural evolution of things.  So as students, we must commit to a lifetime of education to remain competetive in the marketplace.  I plan to have at least 3 masters degrees in my lifetime.  I start my MBA program in August.  I have put a lot of thought into this matter.\n\nWhen an employer doesn't recognize an online institution as legitimate, that is their decision.  They may think that without the classroom, an education is just not the same.  they may not understand the standards that are set for an online education to be accredited.  \n\nFake degrees have been a problem for a long time, and it is true that the online thing can facilitate the fake degrees.  its sad, but true.  So employers need to be warey.  \n\nJust remember that the education you recieve is worth more than just a piece of paper.  You represent your education.

A small percentage of graduate programs dont require the tests to get in.. I guess you have to find a school with an MBA program that you like and doesnt ask for test scores.

Unless you have 10 years of business experience under your belt, you can't get into a good MBA program.  And if you get an MBA from a program that doesn't require that, then you degree is a "dime a dozen".  Stop looking for that high paying job, and look to get some real world experience.

Why you want to do MBA?\nWhy there is financial problem?\nWhy you want a good college?\nThink, with your available resources what you can do the best. All jobs are important if well done.

Only about 15 b-schools are worth applying to.  Unfortunately, there are probably a few hundred MBA programs in the U.S., and the relative value of, say, a Wharton MBA versus, say, a Bentley or Pace MBA is lost on the average employer.  Hence, a top MBA program isn't a terrific investment anymore, unless one is to work for the top investment banks (one of a very few verticals where I think the MBA still matters).\n\nCyanne (other responder) means well, but the programs she cites are mediocre - they might rank in the top 50 but not in the top 20, and the fall-off from #20 to #21 and lower is precipitous.

University of Michigan has a good MBA program...\n\nWas highly rated recently I think.\n\nIf you expand out a bit...University of Chicago and Northwestern University also has HIGHLY rated programs.\n\nMichigan State University also has a good MBA program
