Do you have the right to work in the US? You can exclude UCAM and CSU. These are terrible schools. CSU graduates less than half its students within eight years. 

<div><span style="background-color: transparent;">Duncan, thank you for the reply!</span><br></div><br><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I should have a green card, won a lottery, should be invited to the interview in about two months. Also, as Ukranian citizen, I can apply for U4U program, which gives the right to work for two years. This is plan B.&nbsp;</div><br><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Even if plan A and plan B fails, I need a degree in Marketing anyway, because sometimes I'm being asked during the interviews. Also, I wanted to&nbsp;«sharpen the saw» with 6 marketing modules in the CSU (or write the Thesis in UCAM, based on the textbooks from these modules :))</div><br><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Good schools I can't afford at the moment + not sure that big investment will be returned in next 3-5 years. Is there any ordinary schools or universities with online programs and the fee less than 12K$? There is a lot in Scandinavia or Slovenia (3,5K$) but on campus programs.<br><br></div>

An MBA isn't a liter of milk. There is a huge difference between good and bad schools. You will waste your money on these programs. Start with https://findmbaonline.com/board/general-forum/value-alternatives-to-unaccredited-mbas-58288&nbsp;

With your limited budget and considering your focus on the USA, a master specialised in marketing from a real, AACSB accredited school will be better. Consider something like https://www.bgsu.edu/ecampus/masters-degrees/strategic-communication.html&nbsp;

This might be better than your other options.&nbsp; UIUC is very well respected in the US and an MS in Management from UIUC will have better employer recognition than an MBA from the schools you mentioned.&nbsp; &nbsp;Plus, the cost is only $11.5K and you can ladder up to an MBA eventually if that is your goal.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>https://giesbusiness.illinois.edu/graduate-hub/management/online-ms-in-management

Because you want to work in the US, a US qualification with AACSB accreditation is a much better idea than an OU degree. The OU will not be well know in the USA. Take a look at:<br><br>https://www.geteducated.com/online-college-ratings-and-rankings/best-buy-lists/best-buy-online-masters-mba-aacsb/#/<br><br>While a post like that will not be continuously updated, it's a good outline of some options. The flagship state universities in Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota are also worth considering.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hello, yes UCAM and Columbia Southern will be 100% recognized in the USA.&nbsp; It will be worth it.&nbsp; You have very good choice.&nbsp; You very smart person.&nbsp; Wish success in the United States of America.<br><br>Best,&nbsp;<br>Official USA Education Corp

LOL: you can't even write sentences. These will be recognised as degrees of minimum quality. A good choice would be an AACSB-accredited school.&nbsp;

Getting loans for high quality MBAs is fairly straightforward. A no name school like GSSU with a low graduation rate will be a riskier investment than a better ranked school.&nbsp;
