Online Graduate Program

Posts Tagged ‘business’

I am looking at potential business schools to obtain my Masters in Management, or another related field. I was wondering where do employers rate online schools, such as the University of Phoenix, against other traditional business schools. Im guessing it’s not in the top-tier with Harvard, North Western, Standford and such, but is University of Phoenix seen as a respectable school at all? Thanks.

Nothing against University of Phoenix, but why attend there when there are plenty of other options.

It is my opinion that the best MBA degree is obtained from going to a traditional university and sitting in class. However, that is not an option for all people. If the only way you can further your education is to attend online, you should investigate many schools and not just the ones that advertise.

I recommend that you try to attend a traditional state university that has an online MBA program. If at all possible, go to a program that has AACSB accreditation for their business school. AACSB accreditation is widely regarded as the best business school accreditation. While University of Phoenix is accredited, it does not have this accreditation. An additional benefit is a degree earned online at a traditional school will be no different than a degree earned on-campus.

Here are some good schools that have MBA programs online:

I will receive by Bachelor’s in Business Administration from an accredited university in Florida, September 2009. I will graduate with a 3.90 GPA. What descent MBA programs would I be able to get into? Is there anyway to get a full ride scholarship with my high honors?

Most MBA programs either require or strongly prefer that you work for a couple of years before you apply. In addition, without knowing your GMAT scores, it’s impossible to say where you might get in, or whether or not they’ll give you any sort of scholarship.

In general, there are far, far fewer "full ride" scholarships given for professional degrees like law, medicine, or MBAs, than are given at the undergrad level. Your chances of getting one are slim, even if your GMAT ends up being perfect. But if you do very well on the GMAT, and have good work experience, you’ll get into a very strong MBA program. And even if you have to pay for Harvard Business School with loans, it’ll be worth it, because when you come out, you will be making serious coin.

I have an undergraduate and graduate degree in Education.

you’re going to have to do some research on the degree that you want to obtain. for the most part if it is not a specialized degree like a med degree or engineering you should be ok. you can get just about any business masters without having a business undergrad and i would think there are plenty of others. just start looking up requirements.

On average, how many years does it take to graduate from a graduate school of business?
Is that 2 years in both public and private schools?

Most are two years, in both public and private schools. Some have 1-year programs, usually for students who have a degree in business. Consult the Official MBA Guide. It’s a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It’s the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.
