I'll trust that these are good programs, although I'll never do the research to actually be certain. The part that bothers me a bit, and the reason that I'm posting, is that I wish they'd come up with something a bit more imaginative than yet another MBA program and yet another IT program. Aren't there enough of these already? I guess not as you can bet that these folks did their own high-powered market analysis before they went online. Doesn't it seem like the night manager at every Dunkin' Donuts is going to have an MBA? Jack
Let there be no confusion: Interactive University has no connection with EBS or with Heriot-Watt's MBA. This press release from them is disingenuous. Like much else it claims in public, many of its claims prove to be premature. I refrain from a total rebuttal out of courtesy to the many good people employed there. Take a look at the current status of 'Nanyang Institute of Management, Singapore', which has been subject to Singapore government investigation, with some arrests of senior managers. That this could be embarrassing for the Scottish Minister mentioned in the light of these recent developments - predating the press release last week by several weeks - is an example of the total irresponsibility of IU top management in further exposing him to ridicule for being an innocent party to a deception in Singapore by Nanyang's owners.
