The University of Utah David Eccles School of Business offers a Master of Business Creation (MBC) degree it describes as “business accelerator meets business degree.”

The MBC is offered in both an on-campus and an online format. The online format lasts three semesters and looks to be asynchronous or close as to meeting times, although "all courses are taken with a cohort of founders progressing through the program together."

The application process not only screens each student but screens the suitability for the program of each student’s for-profit or non-profit enterprise, using a pitch deck, a video pitch essay, and questions to assess the enterprise.

"The MBC is exclusively for founders committed to achieving operating independence by the time they complete the program. […] Courses in the program are designed to help working entrepreneurs who need help on real startup problems now. Founders can immediately apply what they learn in class to their startup. […] Founders in the program not only learn from their experience starting an enterprise, they also observe their colleagues’ startup efforts in detail and have an opportunity to learn from a variety of challenges and solutions across their entire cohort."

Recent graduates from the on-campus format lead startups "from cardiac imaging and trucking software to vintage sneakers and pickleball." An FAQ describes enterprises that are or are not good fits with the MBC. "If you have revenue, you're probably ready. If you don’t have revenue, we look for work you’ve done to validate your idea: prototyping, beta testing, market validation, competitive studies, legal entity formation." Less good fits include professional practices based on billed hours and "many personal-service businesses, including restaurants and retail shops."

Tuition is $15,000, and “full and partial scholarships are available to all founders who enroll in the program.”

Funding opportunities for the enterprises may also be available arising out of the MBC community.

Only some international locations are eligible, but the program is working to expand eligible locations. Eccles recently announced a new MBC Africa cohort. "Sponsorship to cover tuition costs will be awarded to all founders enrolling in the MBC Africa program in fall 2024."

Eccles and the program are accredited by the AACSB.

I have a friend who is very interested in doing an associate or bachelor's degree in graphic design online. I've looked on the internet for days, but it is very difficult to find anything in this field.
What is the cheapest or competency based program available nowadays in graphic design?

Hey all. I’m hopefully enrolling soon. My question has anyone been successful in transferring all 113 credits for the B.S Liberal Arts degree? I’m looking at bringing in Sophia credits mostly. Does anyone have experience in courses not officially listed on the Sophia Transfer chart from excelsior? These can be LL. Are the Lawshelf platform courses particularly difficult? I’m potentially needing 1-2 of those courses. Oh I also have a 200ish Fiction course from a brick & motor that can possibly used from an UL (it has elsewhere). Also, does Excelsior routinely give credits for an UL course completed elsewhere that was 6cc. 

My second inquiry is that has anyone taken the cornerstone, capstone, and information literacy courses at Excelsior? Are these difficult per se? That is to say is it pretty easy to make a C in these classes w/out over excursion.

Hi everyone, 

Looking towards starting a second bachelors degree because why not? Anyways have been talking with TESU admissions and wanted to see if anyone can give me insight or confirm that I don't need to take any additional courses at TESU and that I can take them all through Study.com and Sophia.

Below is the email from admissions counsler...

..."When you say RA do you mean residency requirement hours? If I am understanding correctly then it would be 15 hours or 5 courses. 
 
According to your academic program you have 28 hours, roughly 9 courses, so you are good. 
 
Additionally please note if you are thinking you would like to take standardized exams, CLEP, DSST, TCEP, the exams go toward degree requirements they do NOT count toward residency requirements. ..." 


Thank you in advance !

I’ve been eyeing this propio at Euroinnova for a while now, but Euroinnova is definitely on the more expensive end for propios. 

Does anyone have a coupon/ambassador discount for Euroinnova?

Hello. I'd like to earn a secondary master's like generic MBA from WGU. I already have MSN in healthcare administration and management.  Which courses satisfy WGU requirement for MBA from Sophia, EdX, Study.com etc? I'd like to possibly take additional courses over the summer to finishing degree sooner. Thanks for your help!

I set up a WGU excel file with the classes I plan on taking. Mainly looking to get the easiest so I can speed through.

Initially I did not see the C# track so I made everything with Java. I now found C# track, however, there does not seem to be any credit transfers and because of this I am in a bit of a bind.

I do not necessarily care about Java, but it seems I could credit transfer which would increase the chance of finishing in 1 term. The C# classes seem to be 4 classes combined into 2 and there do not seem to be any credit transfers, increasing the class count I would have to do at WGU to around 10 or so which I'm not really sure if I could do in 1 term, sounds like an insane number.

Hi there, I’m a newbie here and I’m glad I found you guys. I’m 40 and I’ve been in the financial industry for 15 yrs in relationship management/sales within banking and wealth management. 
For my roles I never really needed a college degree but I have always wanted to completed as a personal fulfillment, potential career progression and to lead my children as example, but I’ve been deferring it and finally I’d like to put the work on it. 
I have completed probably like 16 credits when I attempted college years ago. I’m looking to get your advice on a degree that I can complete fast, super affordable and mostly online. This degree could be within the financial realm or any other degree you may recommend as long as is not too long, fast to complete it, etc. 
I thank you in advance for your support!
