Hi
Kindly advise on the credibility of the of the MBA offered by this university? I have noted that it has some recognition in EU and Cyprus however not accredited to three international bodies, i.e AMBA, AACSB and AQUIS. I am in Zambia Central Africa where the MBAs offers by the local universities are not accredited.

Kindly advise on if it will be well for me to pursue the Unicosia MBA.
With regards

I don't see any benefit in taking a degree without international accreditation. Are you looking at the Unicaf scheme for Nicosia? If so see http://find-mba.com/board/africa/online-mba-university-of-south-wales-through-unicaf-46882?latest=true#post-id-48933

Hi Duncan,
Thank you alot for the advise and I have no option other than going for it. kindly advise on other online MBA with the triple accreditation or 2 or 1 those with average cost globally?

The Coursera/Illinois MBA is only $20,000. I would also look at the LSE graduate diploma in management.

Hi Duncan,
kindly as you reply bear in mind that the inquirers are coming from different countries and region who may want to work only in/ out of their respective countries. So the issue then is most of the MBA offered in Zambia are not accredited internationally yet approved locally and regionally, just like any other universities from other regions/countries.
I ask you to look at a guy who is 45years working in his native country who has no desire to go out for work however remain working home with desire to further his skills. The other factor is the cost where you are saying the Illinois MBA is around $20,000 and mostly the workers in my country get less than $1500. On average these institution ask for about $800 dollars per module, how then then can one survive to go for these accredited university?

That is why i mentioned the LSE graduate diploma.

Hi Duncan,
I have been to the LSE website and found the GLobal MBA at appr 8700 sterlin Pounds yet not accredited like the graduate diploma in management too. Why direct me to unaccredited programs yet the issue raised against spending money on unworth investment is the accreditation?

Because even if you don't have the budget for an internationally accredited qualification, there are options available from better schools.

Kindly advise on other schools that are relatively affordable but not LSFE or Queen Mary University of London.

There's not much from better schools.
- ESCEM is accredited, and that is around 12k GBP
- CNAM in Romania is around €8,000 but that requires some attendance.
- The Ashridge masters in management is an option
- The OU MBA is triple crown.accredited.
- Without accreditation, I guess The University of the People is the classic choice now.

I guess it depends on whether you want a qualification for the learning, in which case why not just take Wharton courses with coursera or to impress employers, in which case surely the LSE graduate diploma is better than an MBA from an unaccredited school for many.

Hi Duncan
how are doing today?
Kindly advise on the accreditation of online MBA offered by Concordia University Chicago through interactive learning. The only accreditation itemised are:
1. Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).
2.National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE)
3. Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP)
4. Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP)
The course cost about GBP6000.00
I will appreciate your advise

You seem to have answered your own question.

Hi
I have not answered my question however gave you the accreditation among such there is non of these AMBA, AQUIS and AACSB. I therefore request your opinion on these accreditation compared to the traditional triple onesy?

These are not notable accreditations. Take a look at http://find-mba.com/board/general-forum/why-international-accreditation-matters-35728
