    Hello all, great to be on this site. I was wondering if anyone on here has had any experience with the University of Houston, Victoria Strategic MBA program (or UHV in general). I am currently enrolled in the M.S. Economic Development & Entrepreneurship program, but am considering a switch to the MBA program (with a concentration in Economic Development & Entrepreneurship). I do have an interest in teaching at the community college or undergraduate level and think an MBA would help more with that.

    Aside from teaching, I'm wondering how people without prior business experience have used their DL MBA degrees from UHV (or elsewhere) to advance or jump-start their careers.

    Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

    I wouldn't give up on that economic program just yet. I teach with a MBA but I am also a CPA. Before I earned the CPA, I couldn't get a 'sniff' from any college because there are a LOT of MBA's (comparatively speaking) who want to teach.

    That economic degree is so focused that you may find yourself as the only person at a college who is able to teach economic development courses. One of the colleges I adjunct at recently started a program of that type.

    If I were you, I'd consider sticking with it. Just a thought...

    Thanks for the feedback DBA_Curious. I haven't given up on the EDE program just yet (will likely have to make a decision by Fall 2010), I'm still enrolled and could use the credits I'm earning now as either core requirements for the EDE program or electives for the MBA. During the summer session I will probably enroll in core MBA courses that could be used to fulfill MBA requirements or EDE electives.

    Any additional feedback from the board on the practicality of DL MBA's (inside and outside of academia) or UHV in general is appreciated.
