Looking for an AACSB DL MBA by self study, similar to NCU. I prefer to learn on my own 'll get plenty of group work in my professional life. Also, I want to keep cost as low as possible. Thanks!
I have no direct experience with TAMU-C, but I believe their courses are setup similar to Univ of Texas at Dallas require group work projects. Not sure what UNL stands for...what school is it?
Sorry, UNL = University of Nebraska, Lincoln. Actually, I checked with them and they said it has significant group work. FYI - I found out that TAMU-C is almost entirely individual work.
Thanks for the clarification. Interesting about TAMU-C. Perhaps that is a good choice for you....I've heard of quite a few people that have gone through the program and most have liked it. I would recommend Univ of Texas at Dallas but it does require group work in most of the courses.
Kelley Direct uses group work in many (not all) courses. I've generally found my colleagues motivated, intelligent and a value add to the process. Plus, the benefit of a group assignment is that if you have work-related commitments one week you can "coast" a bit and make it up to your teammates in a future assignment. I have yet to be part of a team where someone consistently doesn't participate, unlike other concerns/comments I've heard about some schools. Given the original poster's comments about low cost however I don't think IU is a good choice at over $40K. I do feel I'm getting value for money though.
I have always liked the look of Colorado State University's MBA program. AACSB accredited, 2 or 4 year programs, and the courses consist of watching lectures on DVD and completeing coursework and class projects. The web site doesn't say anything about group work, but you could check: http://www.biz.colostate.edu/mba/distance/ *Edit* Hmmm...I read further. There is group work. It's pricey too...$547 per credit hour.
