Don't Pay for Your MBA: The Faster, Cheaper, Better Way to Get the Business Education You Need by Pickard, Laurie-Paperback

While an MBA can accelerate your career, the cost is formidable: for traditional business schools, two years of lost salary and $100,000 in tuition. Few people can shoulder that load.

Fortunately, no one needs to anymore - not when schools such as Wharton, MIT, and Stanford offer courses online for 1/100 of the cost. Don't Pay for Your MBA shows you how to get a world-class business education by tapping into these no-cost and low-cost MOOCs, or massive open online courses.

Author Laurie Pickard is a pioneer in online education. Her quest to piece together a business education while working abroad has been featured in national media - and inspired enthusiasm among people seeking MBA-level schooling, but without the six-figure price tag.

In this helpful, insightful guide, Pickard delivers hard-won lessons for successfully navigating the vast array of offerings, selecting the best options, and filling gaps in your nontraditional education. This book is packed with stories of self-directed learners in every field.
