Message Name: Watch for MBA's under 60 credits

In Reply To: I'm currently marjoring in Accounting and I have a minor in Computer Studies. I notice that in order to get your CPA you must have 150 credit hours, but I only need 120 hours to graduate. I'm trying to decide if it would be best for me to keep my minor which would give me 150+ hours or if I should drop my minor and graduate with 120 hours and go get my MBA which requires 36 hours. Which one is best for me to do? I'm only taking 2 classes per semester hour therefore I am also trying to use my time wisely because I work full time.
Message: A "real" MBA should be a full 60 credits. Watch out that you don't get caught in a shortened program; the value of that MBA may be smaller then a ful two year program of 60 credits.
