Does anyone have any experience with University of Dallas MBA program? Their program looks pretty good. However, I have one concern: The website says they're candidate for AACSB accreditation but when I checked with the AACSB they say that they aren't a candidate. AACSB accreditation really isn't that important to me, however it makes me wonder why this school would misrepresent themselves in this manner. http://imba.udallas.edu/index.learn?action=faq
Re: SACS Accredited So if someone takes a course with them would they be able to transfer the credit to a AACSB accredited school?
The U of Dallas program sounds pretty good, but I could not find the price anywhere on the site. Anybody know where I can find more info on the tuition?
Re: Re: SACS Accredited Each institution decides which credits it will accept in transfer. Most regionally accredited schools accept transfer credits from other regionally accredited schools for equivalent courses. The AACSB has nothing to do with it.
Re: Re: Re: SACS Accredited I disagree. Most RA's take transfers from RA. Most AACSB will only take AACSB transfers. I tried to transfer in a class from a RA school to a AACSB, which was denied, so I appealed, and had to go up and meet with the chair and the dean, who made an exception. So it happens, but it is the exception.
Re: Re: Re: Re: SACS Accredited I disagree. I know 4 different people who transferred from local community colleges into various business related programs covered by aacsb accreditation. An articulation agreement was in place in only one of these four cases. If aacsb schools are accepting community college transfers, and they are (at least in the Philadelphia area), why wouldn’t they accept transfer credits from competitive 4 year schools that do not hold aacsb? In my case, while everyone went off to college (or community college), I pursued a DETC accredited Associate’s degree in business. I was able to transfer all 60 of my credits to a top-tier aacsb school where I earned a B.S. Aacsb is definitely great, but it is not necessary. And from what I have seen, it is not a huge factor in transfer situations. J., MBA JD Law Student (ABA)
Re: Re: Re: SACS Accredited You are right. Professional accreditation counts but RA usually takes precedence. Rutgers University and NJIT, both of which have AACSB-accredited business programs, will accept credits from all RA schools in New Jersey. Another point to note is that AACSB or no AACSB, the prerogative of decision on credits acceptance is that of the school that you are applying to enter. Ike

My dd is just finishing her first year at U of D. She graduated a year early and spent this year there instead of having a senior year at home. It has been an amazing experience for her. I do want to warn you that the tuition has increased rather dramatically for this year and also will again for this coming fall. I hope it slows down, because the scholarships start to feel smaller and smaller when the tuition jumps 2 to 3 K every year. Also, the sophomore year with the Rome semester will be more expensive. Just FYI! I'm missing her so much right now and am impatiently counting the days until we go get her especially amid flu worries.
Working in Dallas and having looked into U of D I will say that IMHO U of D = Over priced for what you get.
The entirety of that text was cut-and-pasted from this University of Dallas webpage. It doesn't really have any relevance to distance learning and it revived a six year old thread. The purpose of the exercise was apparntly to get a link to an attorney-referral website posted here without it being too obvious. And that text was cut-and-pasted in its entirety from this discussion board. The intention this time seems to have been to post a link to a company that's selling foreigners sponsorship letters for purposes of getting visas for entry into the US. It seems that 'criminal lawyer' and Invitation1' are one and the same individual/spam-robot.
