Not all business schools are created equal. Some offer only undergraduate business programs while others offer graduate degrees as well. Those who offer graduate programs differ in cost, too. Some require more than $40,000 for acceptance. Others need only around $7,000. The latter belong to schools that offer the 10 cheapest MBAs. If you want to know more about them, read on.

As of today, the top 10 cheapest MBAs are offered by the following higher education institutions:

  1. East Carolina University
  2. University of Houston-Victoria
  3. Texas A & M University-Commerce
  4. Oklahoma State University-Main Campus
  5. Florida Atlantic University
  6. Master of Business Administration(FL)
  7. University of North Texas
  8. Tennessee Technological University
  9. Master of Business Administration(TN)
  10. Western Kentucky University

    Aside from the cheap cost of education in these schools, they also differ to most business schools in terms of accreditation. If you don’t know what we’re talking about, we are referring to the accreditation that business schools, specifically, have.

    Generally, regional or national accreditation is enough for any college or university. However, when it comes to some programs, it helps to have the accreditation of agencies that focus on specific fields. In business, that agency is the AACSB or the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Not only does this agency accredit business schools in the United States, they also check on the quality of education offered in other business schools in other countries. Schools that have received the stamp of approval from AACSB is truly impressive and produce nothing but the best MBA-holders.

    Since the schools above are AACSB-accredited, you know that you will get the best value for your money when you enroll in one. And don’t forget, the money that you will end up spending will be $25,000 or less. In fact, the cheapest among these schools, East Carolina University, offer an MBA for only $7,848.00. Florida Gulf Coast University may be ranked 10 but their MBA will cost you only $12,926.52.
