American Public, Amberton, and Liberty University Management degrees

I'd like to know if you have received, or are pursuing one of these degrees:

American Public- MS Management
Amberton-Master's in Managerial Science
Liberty- Master of Arts in Management and Leadership (MAML)

If you have any information, I would love to hear it. How tough are the classes? What does the overall program/curriculum consist of? How satisfied are you with the school, and your degree, etc.? Has the degree gotten you any jobs? Throw in any good information that you have.

I am looking for a groovy management, leadership, or organizational leadership degree for the most part. I want a business related degree without all of the annoying numbers and math classes (economics, finance, statistics and analysis, etc.). I think this type of degree would go well with a bachelor's degree in business administration.

Thanks.:shysmile:

 

I already answered your other thread about LU's MAML. So i'm just going to just tell you why I think LU is the better choice. If you don't know much about LU it's a ranked B&M school in Lynchburg, VA. LU has around 14k residential students on a 7200-acre campus loaded with academic and athletic facilities better or on par with nearly all G5 schools. LU will also start pumping out medical doctors starting this year from the almost finished medical school. They currently compete on the NCAA D1 level in the Big South Conference for sports.

I'm a strong believer in schools that play sports. I think it makes the school more legitimate than strictly online/for-profit ones. And it's a great way to network. Just recently I ran into a ODU grad while I was wearing a LU shirt. Never met the guy but he started talking about when LU played ODU in football last year. It was a very close game. Things like that happen pretty often. Just an aspect of B&M schools strictly online/for-profit ones won't have. You are building yourself into a brand, might as well stack the odds in your favor.

 

You might want to ask your current organization what they think. Every industry is a little different. In my industry, we are very mobile expatriates and an online school is not so frowned on as other industries.

You are probably making a mistake to discount the annoying math stuff. I would value those skills in a general manager more than the leadership stuff.
