A couple of observations: 1. It is RA 2. The marketing school is stand alone to the business school, that is different, I haven't seen that before. 3. I went to the details of the program, and it seems that classes are offered from The Project Management Institute (PMI®) - not sure 4. This quote is interesting: Students earn three Professional Certificates as they work toward the completion of their Executive Master of Business Administration degree. 5. 15 month program Finally, "Colorado Tech Online is the place to go for an Executive MBA to benefit from Professional Certificates that can take your career to a higher level. " So is the final degree an MBA, or these certificates? Has anybody heard of PMI before?
Han, I believe that the final award is an MBA. This program is seems to be structured similarly to a number of UK MBA's where you receive certificates/diplomas as you progress through the various stages of the program i.e. 3 phase MBA program: Completion of the 1st phase earns you a post grad certificate, completion of the 2nd phase a post grad diploma and award of the MBA if all 3 phases are completed.
This is a pretty interesting mdel. This way, if you can't finish, you at least have something to show for it, above the credits earned. Interesting.
Some ten years ago I visited this university's campus in Colorado Springs. It looked to me more like a business office than a regular campus. There was carpet everywhere, beautiful chairs and rooms, and a lot of technology embedded. Very impressive. I thought at the time that it was more for professionals than for your typical young student. At that time they had one (perhaps two) programs fully accredited by ABET, which is an excellent sign. There were very nice and helpful when they showed us around. Han, the PMI is a well known organization. Its body of knowledge influences project managers' activities all over the world. Very famous, like ASME, SME, etc,... Greetings
