My Grad School Thoughts - Masters/PHD

[germ]

Hi
Patten MBA info here:
Material = 8 Units. Min 3-6 objectives per unit. Min. 4-8 sub-objectives per objective. All units, objectives, and sub-objectives have a voluminous amount of material and the sub-objectives are broken down into smaller sub-sub-objectives if that makes any sense. Almost all of the in-depth readings are from Harvard which is good.
Each Unit Mandatory Work = (Paper to prof (not graded), self-assessed paper, flashcards(almost each objective and every unit), quizzes(not graded) (you have to take all of these and pass and are tracked for and by prof for your progress), 2-3 page graded paper after every 2nd unit which is 4 total before end of course.
End of course = prefinal (which you have to pass to get to the final project and final exam), final project (paper (12- ? page paper, powerpoint, video or project), and a final in-depth comprehensive exam.
The person there said the fastest she ever saw one go through the program was taking 4 or possibly 5 courses a semester (16 weeks). That equates to a minimum 1 year and $6,000. Throw in the final with the possible questions from hell and it will be a very rough go. What was someone saying about no one finishes and they fade away?
Just sayn'....haha
