Anyone have an opinion on Patten U MBA? 1. Anyone finish an MBA from there? 2. What should one expect? 3. Is the study material they supply enough? 4. How is it set up? 5. Anyone have experience with the MBA Finance route? Any comments or feedback is much appreciated! Thanks
Patten is a low tier for-profit school that has virtually open admissions. It’s an accredited school and so their degrees are perfectly serviceable, especially if you need to “check the box” with a grad degree. At the same time, it’s a name that no one outside these boards will recognize or be impressed with. You’ll not pay a lot and, depending on your background, you’ll probably learn some useful stuff. If it was me, I’d go the UPeople route and save some money but then I’m wicked cheap. I know that none of this is what you asked but I figured I’d try to get the thread moving. https://www.4icu.org/reviews/11674.htm
I think Kizmet may be on to something. UPeople is for sure the lowest cost MBA out there(DEAC accredited however). If you are looking for an RA degree, Patten works. If you do a search on the forums there are people who have given their experiences with Patten. There are many other options, really we don't know enough about why you are picking Patten to determine what is best for you. What you are looking to do with the degree, what your budget is, where in the world you live all come in to play. In most cases, I will say no matter what those factors are Patten probably will not be high on the list.
Not nearly as cheap as U of People, but I think the best bargain in the online MBA world is the University of Texas-Permian Basin, which is not only RA but AACSB as well, and all for under $10K, even with leveling courses. https://degree.utpb.edu/programs/online-degree-master-of-business-administration.aspx
