The cost of an MBA can be high, and acceptance rates are low. If you want access to business school education without the price and hassle, you have options.

Lindsay Mack earned her bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University in 2005. Nearly 15 years later, when she considered the best way to grow her business acumen, an MBA was not it.

For students like Mack, the cost of a top MBA — averaging $225,605 in the U.S., according to a 2022 report by BusinessBecause, an online publisher of graduate business content — is daunting, and the value is questionable. For example, a graduate business certificate from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln College of Business requires 12 credit hours to graduate. An MBA from the same university needs 48 credit hours for completion.

If you need a more flexible schedule Consider a self-guided online course. Companies like MasterClass, Skillshare, Udemy and Coursera let you learn business skills at your own pace.
