Yeah, no capstone was a big deal and I didn’t realize that class was considered a capstone! Thanks for pointing that out, I need to ask my advisor about that because there are 2 certificates I want to get with this degree. Luckily none of the carts I were looking at have that class but there may be others like that and that would def sway my decision.(05-06-2022, 06:53 PM)suzycupcake Wrote: Ok guys - I'm in too!!!

Congrats, Susan! How exciting!!!
I reached out to Amberton about a capstone and was so glad to hear that for the MS in HR and Bis, there isn't one!!!!
"No, there are no capstones required for this program; however, this could change if you opt to take a course that is considered a capstone like MGT6203 - Strategic Management."
W00TTTT!!!

Thanks for popping in to give me the WOOT!!!

It's considering the capstone course in the MBA programs. You can take it after you complete 12 credits in management. If you read the syllabus it's not a true capstone course. Everyone who takes the course will not have completed the same courses prior to taking it. I'm taking it in the fall.

Most degree providers require either a capstone, course, project, thesis or another alternative. It's all personal preference... When you get up to the graduate/Masters level, it's generally those options to select from.
Nope, other than I know Susan hates writing, and it would be music to her ears! LOL

How do I love this post the most?!?!?!?! The less writing the better!
RE: Amberton University - ss20ts - 05-17-2022
There's a lot of writing at Amberton. Very few exams. I had 3 classes this session. Here's my coursework:
Class 1:
5 papers including a graduate research paper
1 quiz
6 discussions
Class 2:
10 discussion researched and cited posts with 2 researched and cited responses
1 research paper
1 midterm exam
1 final exam
Class 3:
5 discussion posts
16 papers
Every student has to take class 3 which there are 2 versions of - religious and non-religious. 10 of those papers were 2 pages long but you had to write 2 or 4 in 1 week. It's a very writing intensive course.

How different have the discussions been for grad vs undergrad?

I’m with Suzy. The less writing the the better! That’s why I chose a less “popular” school with this forum. Hopefully it works out for everyone.

I start July 5, but I already have access to the first week, the full syllabus and they sent me one of the books I will need.
