Good School
The school is highly reputable with classmates from all over the country/world with diverse professional backgrounds. Most students enrolled have a military background. Their first class is Accounting, which you are given the option to take a tutorial prior to taking BUS 615. Having an Accounting background really helps but for someone who hasn't kept up with the subject, has no interest, or has no background in it would be quite challenging. The professor runs the class and the lecture but there are designated DSC's (coordinators) who are responsible for 40 students. Yes, there are over 400 students in one class and they are broken into smaller groups. I didn't like that there is really no one-on-one with the professor online and that you have to go through the DSC first. This can be confusing and to think the professor is untouchable - so to speak - makes it more aggravating and impersonal. Interaction with students is basically nil. Not a lot of students are willing to communicate other than the basic intros in the start. I really wish there was more interaction in the start to make new students feel comfortable. The advisors were great and are there for you all the time - turnaround is quick. As for the class, the lectures are videotaped and sent to you via mail. On average, it takes 2.5-3 hours to watch (per week), plus the readings and the homework assignments. I had to withdraw from CSU for personal reasons and the fact that it did not work out with my current work schedule. The accounting class I took required a lot from me - I basically spent 30 hours a week studying...with no guidance really. But the main reason is that at CSU I am only able to take one class at a time, which means I would spend the next four years with them. I want to receive an MBA but in less than two years (fast track). I made my decision to attend this school based solely on their AACSB accreditation - without considering other reasons. Overall, this is a "GOOD" school.
