Very high quality program
July 25, 2009
I generally encourage people to answer two questions when considering an MBA: 1. What resources are you willing to dedicate (be it time, energy, and money) towards attaining your degree? 2. What do you hope to accomplish by getting an MBA? By answering these two questions, you will have a ...
Solid Program

Very solid program, I graduated in May '08 and the DL MBA helped me land a spot in tenure track academia. I also have a graduate degree that was obtained through the traditional B&M route from a well-known university, and I can say without hesitation that the online MBA through ...

Graduated with UMASS MBA May '08. As a busy professional that works 60+ hours a week I needed an MBA program that would enable me to complete coursework on my own time. The program was comprehensive and challengeing. One area that could be improved would be to have more video ...

I am thinking of signing up for the UMASS PMBA and have a question. Has anyone found a negative stigma attached to the online PMBA vs. the FT MBA program UMASS offers?

I found this program to be extremely regarding, completing it in just under 2 years. There is no stigma attached to the degree, as it is the same as the FT MBA offered on campus (the paper says nothing). This is a testament to just how rigorous the program is.
The courses are all challenging in their own right, but the Corporate Finance and Production & Operations Management courses were truly impressive. The professors are all very responsive and approachable (despite being virtual) and go out of there way to make classes interactive and provoking.
This degree is not for the weak, and they more than cure you of the misconception that online degrees are the easy way out. Great bang for the buck, and I apply the lessons every day, as an engineer.

I think the most important consideration regarding reputation is to determine what you are willing to dedicate, in terms of time, energy, and money towards attain your degree. There is no question that a UMASS Online MBA will not stack up with a similar degree from Wharton or Harvard, but is way more respectable than a degree from a non-accredited technical college. I would assert, given that you get the same diploma from the online and B&M programs, that the method of delivery doesn't matter. What really matter is the reputation. If you are looking to do the program online, you can't do better than UMASS. I you have two years and $100K+ to spend, and have the credentials, you will do better going to a top 10 B&M MBA. I would balk at spending that kind of time/money to go to a non-ranked B&M when you can get more for less with UMASS online.
Hope this helps.

The core curriculum for the online MBA and full-time brick-and-mortar MBA are the same (i.e. 11 courses plus the fundamentals course, if you are required to take it). The difference is that the online program required only 3 units of elective credits (generally completed in one class) while the full-time program requires more electives.

I am a prospective student that just took my GMAT and am very interested in the program. What are admission standards like here? I haven't found much info other than average GMAT score. I'm 24 with 2 years work experience as a Health Care IT Consultant. GMAT: 610 undergrad GPA 2.9. Does anyone speak to the possibilities of getting accepted with a low GPA like mine?
Thanks!
