Patten MBA - germ - 02-20-2018
Hi everyone!
1. Does anyone have an opinion on Patten U MBA?
2. Anyone finish an MBA from there?
3. What should one expect challenging wise?
4. Is the study material they supply enough or is there other available?
5. How is it set up? Tests & papers?
6. Anyone have experience with the MBA Finance route?
Any comments or feedback is much appreciated!
Thanks

Not many people on here have done it / are doing it. There were a couple who finished. It's exercises, projects, and exams. Some of us have been posting about it today in this thread. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-My-Grad-School-Thoughts-Masters-PHD

That threads a good read. I wasn't aware it discussed Patten.

I know that SL Organizational Behavior is supposed to be transferable, and that microeconomic is required, anything else that can be transferred to the program?
RE: Patten MBA - jsd - 02-20-2018
SL Organizational Behavior is an undergrad course, they won't accept it at the MBA level. And while microeconomics is required, it doesn't count against the 6 credits that you can transfer into the MBA since it is also an undergrad course and not part of the MBA courses.

lol that's insane. If that wasn't just a monumental mistake by a registrar and is in fact their actual policy, it's mindblowing. Accepting a freshman level course for an MBA requirement is not a good look, but I guess it's a big win for the quick/easy purposes of this forum.
That thread is almost 4 years old though. I'd get some recent conformation on that to see if they're still really accepting 100 level courses at the graduate level. Please report back if you look into it.

There are a few more threads like it. Many of the threads discussing Patten are comparing it to WGU or Hodges or both. (Hodges is no longer as quick, cheap option.)
