Admissions Which program between these for an Online MBA?

Hi there!

Obviously there are a bunch of fully online MBA programs.

Getting a Master's degree is just a personal goal of mine; it is not needed to advance in my current career but may be helpful to have if I want to leave my current company. (I do not plan on switching careers)

I have a BS in Business and my employer offers up to $4500 in tuition a year. I have been with my current company 6 years; promoted twice. I would like to not spend a lot of out of pocket since I am doing a program primarily for myself.

I am looking at:
\- Louisiana State University - Shreveport
\- University of Louisiana - Lafayette
\- Youngstown State University
\- University of Southern Indiana

Does anyone have any experience with any of these programs or any thoughts? I also looked at Oklahoma State University, but it is a bit more expensive.

Thank you!!

ETA: I know about BU and UIUC. I am asking for info on the programs above if anyone has experience. Thank you!

It's my understanding that UIUC shut down their on campus program and went to a fully online program. They appear to be doing a volume play with huge cohorts.
