Hi,
I'm a Software engineer with 5 yrs of Work experience now willing to pursue my MBA. I was initially targetting UK's 1 yr MBA programs which i thought would be a way quick. In mid way of my research i came across MBA in US which allows to work and complete my MBA (like Co op programs) was really catchy for me ... Also it does not require GMAT.
Coleman University
California University of Management and Sciences
Northwest Christian University
University of Advancing Technology
Can you'll please share your thoughts on these . It allows to work in the company while pursuing which i personally feel will help me gain more experience practically .
is it worth to opt for these than the 1yr MBA in UK.
A important point: i want to do my MBA and get into consulting or project management track (basically back to my IT field in higher position).
Also any good options that may suit me is also most welcome ..

I think only two are accredited by organisations recognised by the the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA): Northwest Christian University and the University of Advancing Technology. I'm not sure that a degree from the others will be easily accepted.

All of those programs you listed have fairly low visibility - their sweet spot is usually regional, where local residents who want to stay in the area can pursue education.
Are you planning on staying in your company after you graduate? Could be that your employer has a relationship with a business school or an executive education provider to help people like you climb the career ladder.
If I were you, I'd try to be strategic about planning for an MBA. I would definitely recommend at least doing a practice GMAT test to see what you might score, so you have a sense of your possibilities. If you could score higher than 600 you could look at one-year UK MBAs like Lancaster or Aston - either of which would probably have better resources for you after you graduate.
