    This program is pretty new, so I would be surprised if you found many graduates. I haven't seen anyone around here who has mentioned enrolling in it, but I will tell you that CUNY is a quality school system and it is a very interesting degree at a great price. I can think of only a few downsides. For one, it doesn't have the prestigious MBA title to it... which, in a perfect world, would only be a superficial difference. There's also the fact that while some of the CUNY schools have offered online courses for a few years, they are very inexperienced in offering a fully online degree program.

    Then again, the degree is pretty unique in that it is neither a straight forward business degree nor a straight forward leadership degree, and doesn't take an insane amount of course work like the GCU dual MBA/MSL.

    Looks like a top notch program. It does not have the MBA woo factor. But as long they teach the proper skill sets who really cares. Curious to see how graduate do in the real world. It is probably a great degree for entrepreneurs.

    Did a little research. This might be a deal killer.

    It looks like Diploma is awarded from SPS not from CUNY. But it does not say online.

    Honestly. Who cares. Just as long as they teach you. If someone gets snobby about it, that's they problem.

    It cannot be referred to as an MBA, as it is a degree in management, which revolves around organizational behavior, rather than finance, accounting, etc. The focus is on people, as opposed to numbers.

    Looks interesting. Does anyone know of similar programs at other schools?

    SPS is one of the schools inside the CUNY system - you never get a pure CUNY degree from CUNY, it is always a CUNY "something", CUNY Baruch, CUNY Brooklyn, CUNY Graduate Center, etc...
