First up, I've written about them before and I'm doing it again, but the Harrison Middleton University's College of the Humanities and Sciences has the best looking all around liberal arts doctorate programs I've seen. I love the concept of performing your research based upon readings from the Great Books, many of which have shaped ...

I don’t think I’ve ever really said much about it before but
I figured that since I blogged about 2 guys who were diagnosed as having
learning disabilities and being “notable failures” in history I would go ahead
and make tonight about my own personal learning disability. My learning disability has been ...

I can hardly believe it. Here I am looking at the schedule for my next class and realize that I have only 3 courses left. Including this week which is half way over I have 19 weeks left of school and then I’m home free. I am wondering about the commencement ceremony though. It will be in mid December in Iowa. I ...

As most of you already know I closed on my new house last Friday. Even though this was a newly built house, my wife and I decided long ago that we wanted porcelain tile and stone mosaic floors throughout the entire structure, even in the washroom and bedrooms. As you can imagine this was/is very, very pricey. Today I was telling ...

I’ve been known for years at my work as “that guy who goes to college online for his MBA” and often when people meet me for the first time knowing this I can tell that they are just brimming over with questions that they want to ask but for some reason they don’t. Sometimes people will ask me the question after many ...

I found an interesting thread this evening in a discussion post about a recently minted MBA who seems to be ostracizing himself at work when it comes to relationships with his peers and boss. In this case the graduate likes to reiterate the fact that he has an MBA, uses shop jargon taught in business school around people who are unfamiliar ...

This is part II of a two part series. (Click to view part I.)
6.) Technology. Technology is an inevitable part of being an online student. Using new, unfamiliar software and mastering the art of using it skillfully will become essential. If you are still carrying a pager, use a rotary phone, are afraid of a fax machine and ...

Okay I know it seems strange for a guy who is all about distance education to write about the negative aspects of learning online, but for the sake of fairness sometimes it is necessary to look at the bad side of learning as well as the good. After all it is important to make a well-informed decision when considering going back to ...

It’ll be dawn in a couple of hours and I’ll be asleep like Dracula after a long night by the time that occurs. Unfortunately rather than chasing damsels in distress I’ve been figuring out the time value of money, the net present value, discount rates, payback period, discounted payback period, internal rate of return and on ...

Normally I will finish my written assignment on Saturday night after working on it for a while throughout the week. Well unfortunately, I have been a little more pressed for time than normal and I still need to submit the assignment by Monday. Given that tomorrow is the “big game” (note the term super-duper-bowl is ...

Almost anyone in business can tell you, the world of business is becoming increasingly global. I’ve made no bones in the past about how important an MBA can be for ones future prospects at getting ahead. Though I am still debating as to whether this is because of the skills you learned due to your MBA studies or the sheer fact ...

According to the Star Tribune the MBA has become “the” degree to get for working adults. In the St. Paul-Minneapolis area alone the newspaper estimates that there are 5,000 MBA students working towards their degree from one of a dozen available schools. Students, “…primarily working adults taking classes at ...
