Challenging and Worth It

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. ...

Excellent teachers and support for online classes. Technology could be better with lectures posted. Only thing which is a downside is that the program is too structured. They should offer half of the courses required as electives. But the best bang for your buck still out there.
Great program

Great program. The professors are very helpful and always available for questions. I have not experienced any major technology glitches the whole time I was taking the course. Depending of the course, the work load can get heavy. The course material is very up to date, and the case studies ...

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.
