Thread: UL College of Business, Executive MBA program discussed

  1. Default UL College of Business, Executive MBA program discussed

    Things are changing for the better at UL and you don’t have to look any further than the school’s College of Business for proof. Dr. Joby John, dean of the B.I. Moody III College of Business...

    Have we changed our GMAT requirements? I know that a lot of schools don't have a set minimum GMAT score requirement, but prefer to look at the whole candidate instead. I was looking through the admissions website again and noticed that the minimum requirement for the GMAT is not posted anymore.

    It used to be 450 several years back, but I'm sure it has changed

    The MBA program as a whole is taking a turn for the worst unfortunately.

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

    Not to mention, two of the best professors in the program are leaving their positions. The two classes that were worth all of the money I paid for the degree are going to be completely made over in the fall.

    Who are those professors?

    Geoff Stewart and Patricia Lanier

    Stewart is taking over as MKTG department head. Lanier is just burnt out as far as I can tell. Those two professors, their classes, and what was required of us will have lasting effects on our careers. I couldn't tell you one thing I learned in an online class, and I had an online final three weeks ago.

    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).

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