What about summer and "mini" terms? -Do you recommend the program in general? Thank you, Macattack Link: TAMU-C
Macattack, How are you? I completed the TAMU-C MBA program in 2005, and I am presently enrolled in TAMU-C's Master of Science in Management program. Send me a PM, and I will try to answer your questions.
Macattack, -How are the classes structured, group or individual work? I have only taken a couple of 501-series background courses. The work in these courses has been mostly individual although for discussions we were divided into groups. -Are there tests or written assignments or both? There are both tests and written assignments. They are like most MBA programs which have an emphasis on written assignments and exams. -How many courses are you taking per term? The fall and spring semesters are 16 weeks. The semester is divided into two 8 week parts for the 501-series background courses. My preference is to take two 501-series courses sequentially in a semester. If you are really ambitious you could take four 501-series courses in a semester. For the component courses you will need to take at least two per semester in order to graduate in a reasonable amount of time. Note that the 501 series is an example of how the school structures the MBA courses so that it is possible to complete the program in a couple of years rather than 3 or 4 years. -What about summer and "mini" terms? These are 3-4 weeks in duration so it might be difficult to take more than on course at a time. The Summer I, Summer II, August-mini and Winter-mini terms are another example of how the school provides students a way to finish the MBA program quickly. Most other schools only offer fall, spring, and summer courses. -Do you recommend the program in general? Yes, they have a good MBA program which is affordable. They do things right and provide great support when you have issues or questions. I am doing the program from the Netherlands and so far the whole experience has been pretty smooth.
