Anyone find a good MBA program after Excelsior?

malcs Wrote:According to the Jacksonville prerequisites, they are asking for the following:
MGT 504 Business Organization and Administration (3)
BA 500 Statistics and Quantitative Methods (3)
ACC 200 Principles of Financial Accounting (3)
EC 222 Principles of Macroeconomics (3)
FIN 301 Business Finance (3)
FIN 292 Legal and Social Environment (3)
CBA 390 Operations and Technology Management (3)
MKT 301 Principles of Marketing (3)

All of the pre-reqs were covered for me from the following CLEPS/DSSTS and two courses...

Business Strategy - (EC course needed to graduate with business degree) - covers MGT 504
Financial Accounting - (CLEP) - covers ACC 200
Macroeconomics - (CLEP) - covers EC 222
Principles of Finance - (DSST) - covers FIN 301
Business Law - (CLEP) - covers FIN 292
Operations Management (course at CSU - Pueblo needed for EC business degree) - covers CBA 390
Principles of Marketing - (CLEP) - covers MKT 301

The biggest negative about JSU is that it is not self-paced and most of the courses, other than the summer courses have to be taken as 16-week courses. Thus, it will take a little less than 2 years to complete. But, do not underestimate accreditation. I know that some on here do not think it is a huge deal and I will admit that it does depend on what you plan to do with the degree after you graduate, but if you have any desire to go on to the doctoral level, teach or do government work, then AACSB accreditation can make or break you.

Something to think about...
