Dear Scott,
I am very grateful for the article you wrote about Northeastern's online MBA at:
http://community.elearners.com/blogs/kaplan_management_degree/archive/2007/06/23/Northeastern-University-_2E002E002E00_-Not-For-Me.aspx
As a busy working mother, I am searching for the most viable, valuable online MBA ...

You might remember a while back when I posted a link to a poll about online MBA programs. Well, the story that came out of that poll has arrived.
“What’s an Online MBA Worth?” can be found at BNET.com
The poll for the article was highly favorable to on-line MBA programs. The story hits some important ...

I almost wanted to throw up yesterday. Yeah, it sounds like “too much information”. But I was so angry and miffed that nausea was the default response to what happened to me. Here is the short version of what happened.
Last week, a very nice recruiter contacted me and did a 30-minute phone screen for a really good ...

There has been a lot of good discussion lately about online degrees. I found one at BNET.com. For those not familiar with the site, it is a business related site that caters to management-types like me. The site is gearing up for a big article on on-line MBA’s and is taking a poll. You can see it here: ...

Today marks the end of my postings on the Norwich University blog at eLearners. In the next few days, I will begin my new blog that will focus on my next “adventure in education” as I earn my Doctor of Business Administration at Walden University. I have already enrolled and begin classes on June 29. As I write ...

A tremendous milestone was accomplished this weekend. Graduation is one step closer.
In order to graduate from the Norwich MBA program, all students have to take a comprehensive exam. It was kind of a surprise when it was announced we had to take one. We were not sure what to study. Since I was able to evaluate my ...

Wow! It just hit me. Last night, my group (myself and three other students) turned in our final “group project”. What this means is that I have one more assignment to complete for my MBA program. The pedagogical approach that we have been exposed to now shifts from a focus on an understanding of the individual ...

Hi Scott,
I have been reading your blog frequently over the past few weeks. I am currently in my next to last term in the BS in paralegal studies program at Kaplan. I want to do an MBA online, but my question is whether MBAs involve many group projects. Based on experiences, I have not had good results with group projects, ...

I read your site and had a couple of questions for you. I am thinking about attending Kaplan University to obtain a BS Degree in Paralegal Studies. I have signed up and have gone through most of the process. In reading your bio I see that you have a BS from there, but at the end of your site you had said that if you ...

Strayer University of Arlington, VA, (among others) continues to have accreditation problems, and potential students are advised to avoid the school. Strayer lacks accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (www.sacs.edu); additionally, its undergrad and graduate programs in business are not accredited by AACSB ...

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 ...

Many of you may not have heard of the animated television show King of the Hill, suffice to say it is a show loosely based upon a character from Beavis and Butthead. At least I think it’s based off of him, Tom Anderson.Anyways so I’m eating lunch tonight at work and on a television in the room is this cartoon show where a young ...

Tonight I will wrap up Learning Block 2 in Operations Management. It was a 5 page research paper and a couple of discussion board questions. The reading assignments are fairly smooth as Operations Management is really just a form of systems thinking or what I call a big picture approach to handling situations. I’m one of ...

I read an interesting interview of an executive recruiter over the value of the MBA. I recommend you read it as well, but in a nutshell, the MBA has real value. It has the most value in investment banking, consulting work and finance but can be a cross industry asset as well. The MBA is being more sought after by being ...

This week in Managerial Finance we looked at investing. By the nature of investing there is an element of risk. Risk is the price of opportunity for profit. I’ve always considered getting an education to be an investment, albeit one in which the returns are often not readily quantifiable but an investment nonetheless. ...

I submitted my assignment and completed my discussion questions ending week 3 of Managerial Finance. I have to tell you folks, this was one of the roughest weeks I’ve experienced since beginning my MBA program. I knew there would be weeks like this and I thought I had prepared myself mentally for it before even starting the ...

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 ...

Of course there are many, many good reasons people don’t get an MBA, such as being a Heart Surgeon or a full time Nurse Practitioner or some other lucrative career choice where an MBA really wouldn’t further your career much if any. But for those of you working in business or those of you who have majored in business it can often ...

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 ...

The Financial Times, in the United Kingdom have a very interesting article published a couple days ago on survey results from MBA students. These students graduated in 2004 and the survey attempts to see their progress after 3 years, posting results for 2008. Again further proof that an MBA pays in the long run, though perhaps not ...

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 ...

A coworker of mine overheard me talking about the expense of graduate school. After all, I did just prepay the balance of my tuition to Ashford. He kind of in a joking way stated, “all of that money and time gone and you’re in the same job as me probably making the same money and I don’t even have a degree.”
Now he did ...

Some of you will recall a string of posts a while back addressing the issue of MBA accreditation. This is something that weighed a tremendous amount during my search for my MBA. We discussed the two primary agencies that handle the accreditation process, the ACBSP and AACSB. In working to distinguish between the two, Steve ...
