What is the shortest MBA program available through DL and how intense is the program? Thanks in advance for the replies
During the seven years I was involved with marketing for the Edinburgh Business School MBA (1991-98), we had three US/Canada clients (out of about 5,000) who purchased all the courses in March and sat all the exams (9 in one case, 7 in two others) in June, and passed them all. This is of course a very rare thing, but it was done. The man who took all nine (two a day, for a week) said he didn't study all that much since he "already knew this stuff." (He was senior VP of a Fortune 500 company.)
You could complete Touro's MBA Program in a year. I am taking 2 classes per term and could easily do three, maybe four if I work really hard. This is while I work full time. American InterContinental University (AIU) has an MBA Program that can be completed in 10 Months - This accelerated program can be completed in just 10 months giving students the chance to make their next move up the corporate ladder sooner. The AIU Online MBA helps to position students for positions with great earning potential. It is designed to provide a unique, market-relevant combination of a comprehensive business education with real-world applications. I am sure many others will have advice also. Good Luck
Touro How do you like touro's program? do they accept federal aid? are they Regionally accredited also? any input would be helpful. thanks
Re: Touro I like TUI's program, I am not sure if they accecpt federal aid, they are RA and are part of Touro College which has a law school and a med school.
randall, touro Thanks for the input. Your currently enrolled at Touro for a masters program, but not an MBA program correct? I wanted to know if touro helps with placement upon graduation? Do they have a good placement with their MBA students?Thanks
Are you sure about this? I remember contacting TUI about 9 weeks ago asking them how fast is it possible to complete the MBA program and they told me that it's 15 months. Bo
Touro MBA 1. Yes, they are a Title IV school so you can use federal aid programs. 2. I finished in 15 months taking 2 classes a term and one the last term. However, that was on a 9 class program. They now require 10 or 11 classes. Actually, I finished my final class in a month, but I still waited another 2 for my diploma. I could have easily finished in a year if I had taken 3 classes for one term. 3. No, they have no placement program. I think you will find that the norm for most online and part-time programs. Going by the comments on the boards, nearly all Touro students are already employed. Many are military. 4. They are RA.
Myers University offers an online iacbe accredited MBA program that can be finished in about 11 months. With tuition coming in under $15,000 (about half of AIU's tuition,) this program might be worth checking out if you are looking for a reasonably fast and reasonable quality MBA. Tony
