Just started a graduate course! - ryoder - 03-12-2011
I haven't officially graduated from TESC yet but I am done with all my courses.
I have been looking for an at your own pace MBA with an IT emphasis and I have found it.
Today I enrolled in one of the MBA courses at NCU Northcentral University | Online Degree Programs | Online Learning which is regionally accredited and ACBSP accredited as a business school.
I'm taking MGT 5019 Business Ethics and I was able to pay for the class (big bucks for non-degree seeking) log in and get the syllabus. I already purchased the ebook and started the first assignment. I don't want to get ahead of myself but I think I should be able to finish this in 4-6 weeks but I have 12 weeks to complete the assignments.
There are no tests, its all APA styled papers. I have very little experience in this writing style so there will be a learning curve for me.
You can transfer 2 classes as a non-degree seeking student into their MBA program. I will apply for formal admission into the MBA once my degree is conferred in June.
Wish me luck!

I will certainly keep you guys informed.
I can send you the syllabus so you can see what I'm up to.
The assignments are all spelled out in detail on the syllabus so there is no ambiguity. At my age I do not like surprises
Yeah I'm only 35 but I still don't like surprises.

I wish you luck. If you want to get some better idea what to expect in the MBA program or with NCU in general I recommend that you visit the degreeinfo.com forum as they have a lot of NCU students, grads and former students over there. When I was considering their MBA in Healthcare Management I got a lot of good info from them to help in my decision making. Also, you may want to check with them, but you may be able to enroll now to get the lower tuition. TESC should give you a letter of qualification or degree completion, so you can apply and enroll in your master's. EC did that for me. Good luck!

Thanks for the info Marianne I will call them on Monday to ask about that.
The only problem is that my last TECEP hasn't been graded yet so I probably won't get any type of completion letter from TESC at this point.
I do know about degreeinfo.com and have posted there before but this site feels more like home for me

Looks interesting, but boy do I hate sites that make it difficult to figure out what *all* the requirements are. I'm looking at this:
Northcentral University | Online Degree Programs | Applied Computer Science
which says this:
"Additional fundamental courses are also required for degree completion. Please see the full Course Catalog or contact an Enrollment Advisor by email"
Just put it all on one page! :mad:

Ryoder, how many courses do they require for that degree? I was looking at MBA in Financial Management and they only had six courses. I'm thinking that that isn't the whole degree but just the concentration, but thought I'd ask.

The site sucks to be sure. Here is the page you need to see.
Northcentral University Catalog - January 2011
You can get there on the main site by clicking Programs->Course Catalog
