Hello, Allnurses.com family...

Less than an hour ago I had a phone conversation with a Patten U enrollment representative to unearth more details about the MBA program and get satisfactory answers to my multiple questions.

The tuition for all of Patten U's graduate programs is $520/month, or $2080 flat rate per four month term. However, the gentleman to whom I spoke offered a lowered tuition rate rate of $349/month ($1396 per term) if I was willing to agree to a start date of August 31st. I originally sought to start the program in September, so moving the start date up to the end of August will be not that significant of a change to me.

The discounted $349 monthly tuition would be valid for 12 months. It is a self-paced program, and since I intended to complete it a year or less, the terms will work for me. I haven't enrolled yet since I wish to think about this more, but the mere thought of obtaining a regionally accredited MBA for about $4,000 is tempting.

The prerequisite courses for Patten U's MBA program are microeconomics and college algebra, but the man with whom I talked confirmed that another previously completed college-level math course may be used to satisfy the algebra requirement. I had completed a three credit statistics class online through WGU last year and am hoping Patten U will accept it. If they want me to take college algebra, in all likelihood I won't enroll.
