What are your views on AMAU's online MBA program? Is it a wise investment for graduate studies?

Hello everyone,

I have recently decided to pursue an MBA through an online program and AMAU is currently my leading choice. Their tuition is nearly $40,000 per semester, which raises concerns about whether the cost is justified. Although I am considering other universities with pending applications, AMAU accepted me first. I am uncertain if investing such a high amount for my graduate studies is the best decision. Could anyone recommend similar online programs offering tuition in the $20,000 to $25,000 range per term?

Thank you for your insights.

Hey Jack27, I totally get your dilemma. I’m really interested in how you weigh the total cost against the potential benefits, you know? The price tag at $40,000 a semester is definitely steep, and it makes you wonder just what extra value you might be getting with AMAU. Have you had the chance to talk to any alumni or current students about their experiences? I feel like sometimes the network and the career opportunities post-MBA can sometimes tip the scales, even if the upfront cost is high.

I’m also curious if there are certain features in the program that immediately grabbed your attention—maybe industry ties or specific courses—that made you lean towards AMAU when you had other options on the table. On the flip side, are you finding that the cheaper alternatives offer as much in terms of quality, support, or real-world engagement? It’d be cool to hear more about which criteria matter most to you in making this decision. What kind of ROI are you expecting from your degree? Cheers and good luck with your decision! :blush:

hey jack27, im not sold on the hefty price tag. sometimes a cheaper program can offer solid networking and career benefits. it might be worth checking out alumni feedbakcs to see if the cost really gives u extra value. just my 2 cents, good luck!

Based on my experience with online MBA programs, the value of a course isn’t measured solely by its price. It’s essential to evaluate what you’re actually getting—such as career support, networking opportunities, and industry partnerships. In my case, I found that programs offering robust alumni networks and excellent career services helped me overcome the steep initial investment. I recommend asking for detailed placement statistics and feedback from graduates to understand the true return on investment. This careful approach can help determine whether AMAU’s program meets your professional and academic goals.

Hey Jack27, I’ve been mulling over online MBA options lately too and it got me wondering about what we really expect from such programs. I’m not one to prioritize expensive tuition fees unless they bring undeniable value. It might be really interesting to explore whether a program with a lower price point can match up in terms of course quality and genuine networking opportunities. I’m curious, have you found any insights from current students or recent grads that can give you a clearer picture of what the investment really yields? I totally believe that aligning the program’s strengths with your career goals is key. Sometimes these details can be the hidden gems that justify a higher price, but other times a leaner option could work just as well if the support and real-world benefits are on point. What factors matter the most for you in this decision? :blush:

hey jack27, i feel that cost isnt the only factor. sometimes cheepah options fall short in network and support. while amau might seem pricey, its connections might pay off later. just check alumini experiences and course outcomes to see if it aligns with your goals. best of luck!
