Mistakes and FAQ

A degree that costs tens of thousands of dollars deserves a careful look before you commit. This section collects the mistakes that cost students the most, the warning signs of low-quality or deceptive programs, and straight answers to common questions.

You will find guidance on accreditation (and why it matters for employers, transfer credit and tuition benefits), a frequently-asked-questions page, and a balanced look at the pros and cons of an online MBA, including when it is not the right move.

Nothing here replaces advice from a school advisor, your employer's HR team or a qualified financial professional. Use these pages to ask better questions and to verify claims against official sources such as the U.S. Department of Education and the accreditation bodies themselves.
