UL College of Business, Executive MBA program discussed

[RedTails]

I just finished the program. My graduating class was the last to participate in service learning projects. (Marketing and strategic plans for non profits). They are attempting to shift the entire program to an online system over time. Beginning with a few classes and eventually moving all to an online format. Having done both online and "real" classes, ill tell you that I got NOTHING out of an online format and EVERYTHING out of the now non existent service learning platforms. The quality of the education will suffer, the numbers will strengthen (quantity of grads). For those like me who have gone through it as it is, or was, it's very frustrating to not only have my accomplishment inevitably diluted, but the degree itself not taken as seriously. I strongly encourage you all to write to the university. They are making a mistake for the sake of the almighty dollar

Source? I highly doubt they will move to an all online format.

From the horses mot, tee. They've already begun. Going class by class. There were 3 or 4 of the 15 classes online last semester. In a few years it'll be done.

I think the horse is scaremongering, IMHO.

450 is too low if thats the case, needs to be at least 550 minimum. And the switch to online is BS, for an EMBA you learn as much from your classmates in the class as you do from the teachers (exaggeration to a point).

[seehard]

450 is low. Being in the classes, it's obvious who got 450-500.

[njustice]

Yeah, the 450 score is actually why I chose to go elsewhere. That's like the 25th percentile or close to it...
