Online MBA via DVD? (someone provide a FAQ?)

Hey all, it looks like I found the right bulletin board to begin seeking knowledge for earning my MBA.

I'm in a bind - interested in getting my MBA but as a business traveler, it's very difficult to establish a set time during the week for online courses and I'm not willing to give up several weekends a month away from my family. It looks like going through a DVD while on a business trip solves the problem.

UNA offers the DVD program (through Colombia Southern) and it looks like everyone gives it a thumbs up. Are there other programs that offer this type of program?

Where's the FAQ for this line of questioning!

 

Touro University International

Had all the lectures etc. on a CD. However, some of the links it sent you to required you to be connected to the Internet when you used it. I never had any problems as most hotels have Internet access these days. I used it several times on travel for business and when I knew I would be somewhere where I wouldn't have access I would just print out the info before I left. But for the most part I had access wherever I went.

 

Another school to consider would be Colorado State University http://www.biz.colostate.edu

CSU is AACSB accredited and more respected than UNA.

Lectures are based on DVD and are taped the evening before during the part-time program. They will get shipped to you the next day.

CHRIS: I am not sure about Touro, but are you saying that lectures are taped and shipped or the coursework is on a DVD.

 

Thank you both - I'll look into each you've listed. I'm not sure which type of program would be more appealing - a "video" of a class sent to you (ref: CSU) which may be beneficial in that if questions are asked of a specific lecture, the prof would have recent knowledge of that lecture. Alternatively, a premade media lecture may be of better quality (both audio & video) and might have better offline information.

Any idea what format UNA is?

 

Touro had both

Both the lectures and the class materials were on a cd-rom. Each module would have one or two lectures, a Powerpoint presentation with audio, and other supporting print media. However, you would occassionaly click on a link to the Internet for an article or paper. That would be when the Internet would come in to play. I liked having pretaped lectures as you didn't have to listen to questions. If you had any questions of your own you could submit them via email or just do a google search for clarification.
