Hello,

I am from Egypt and need to do an MBA. I have searched through this website, and I have found that the only business school in Egypt that has international accreditation is the American University in Cairo. I would like to do this MBA but the tuition fees are quite high for me. I have asked the school about scholarships but I have not heard anything in response.

Is anybody aware of another option in Egypt that is more affordable? Are there any good online MBA programs that I can pursue while living in Egypt?

Thank you,
Khalid

Accreditation requires high quality faculty and good resources. You won't be able to get an accredited full-time MBA much more cheaply than AUC, which is under 11,000 USD a year. There are some cheaper full-time options like the CEU and CNAM (search the board for them) but the cost of living makes them more costly.

Search the distance learning board for details of distance learning schools, and take a look at the FT Online MBA listing, where you can add in the costs column. Also see http://www.geteducated.com/online-college-ratings-and-rankings/best-buy-lists/best-buy-online-masters-mba-aacsb If you have an undergraduate degree in business, the Wisconsin MBA looks very strong. The UND MBA, however, is the cheapest AACSB MBA online for out-of-state students at under $13,000 http://und.edu/academics/extended-learning/online-distance/degrees/business-administration/tuition.cfm

OK, thank you. I guess I will take another year and save some more money for the AUC program.
