Eastern University MBA?

[fredtabah]

Can anyone share their experience with Eastern University's MBA? How hard or easy is it?

Any feedback on this degree program from anyone that has completed it, has attended, or is attending?

I'm close to deciding betewen this or WGU for a MS degree. Learning about Hellenic American Academy's MBA on here has also thrown a new potential option my way.

There have been threads about Eastern on here. Have you checked the search function? I'm not sure if they were in the MBA program or another program.

Yes, did search and read through the few on the school does not seem to be too much for the mba program. I think it's only 2 maybe 3 years old though. 

Seems like a great program for getting something done in 10 months. I was accepted and sat through a live info session last month / professors and staff seem great. Interesting format and somewhere between the many 7-8 week long online programs and "a little" like WGU in that you can self pace your progress within the courses. Still not compentency based and not a lot of writing. However, more quizes and smaller grade-worthy objectives. 

I want something more focussed on writing. I have taken so many certification exams over the past 6 years, I'm burnt out from that modality.

If you want more writing, I'd recommend you take a look at Hellenic American University. They've been offering their MBA for $3k (which will not likely last forever, but they haven't announced a final end date), and I've written my butt off for all but one class so far. That one class required a lengthy PowerPoint presentation that was almost like a writing project in itself. The curriculum is comparable to Eastern and courses are also 7-weeks.

THanks. Yes, I got some info from them last week and waiting to hear back for a conversation with them. Bonus is that I could attend classes in person as they are less than 30 minutes from me. The lack of business accredidation did not bother you?

Hey, I just realized you mentioned HAU earlier, so you're way ahead of me. Good luck!

I have no use for AACSB and I'm unaware of any situation where the other business programmatic accreditations make a practical difference.
