Getting an MBA through Coursera

I have been looking into some higher studies option. As torn as i am between a PhD and an MBA, i came across this MBA offering from UIllinois, Urbana Champaign. https://www.coursera.org/degrees/imba Does it carry some value? I suppose it won't be equal to being campus and being a full time student. But i like the flexibility and the affordability. If anyone has experience or been through this program, your inputs are much appreciated. TIA!

Are you looking to get anything out of it like a career change or just wanting to check a box/learn for the sake of learning?

I don't know if i can stick in data science for long. Some of it is also for the sake of learning. However i feel it might be best to develop a business mindset rather than just be focused on training models (anyone and everyone is doing it these days). I don't want to pay an arm and leg in the process.
