Does anybody know how good this program is?

 

An impressive list indeed - 2 of the ancient universities of Scotland and 3 of the Group of 8 from Australia (including The University of Melbourne, which has Melbourne Business School, and The University of New South Wales, which is one of the universities involved in the Australian Graduate School of Management - two of the best in Australia).



I wonder which entity grants the degrees.

 

It is not clear who actually awards the degree and under what authority. The last time I heard, the diplomas would carry the seals of each participating university. But it isn't clear whether or not degrees from Universitas 21 would be recognized by employers and accredited (or foreign equivalent) institutions. It is a legitimate degree program, of course, but the devil is in the details.

 

Interesting mix of AACSB and non-AACSB accredited schools.

I do not see U21pedagogica listed as being accredited by AACSB at the AACSB website.

Could some AACSB schools be promoting a non-AACSB MBA?

Interesting......


Just my opinion

 

I talked to one of the school advisors. The final diploma will have logos of all the participating universities.
