West Texas A&M University - The Paul and Virginia Engler College of Business

WTAMU Box 60809
Graduate Business Office
Canyon, TX 79016
United States
  • AACSB-Accredited

With “AACSB accreditation,” the online MBA program at the College of Business at West Texas A&M University has “the best value” for a highly regarded academic program. Students describe the rigor of the program as a “significant commitment” where “one must be mentally prepared.” Although it can be “very trying at times,” it is still “manageable” for the majority of students. Most are able to “prioritize tasks and activities” in order to maintain a healthy “work-life balance.” The winter and summer courses offered for many of the MBA programs are another perk and add to the accommodating experience of this fully-online curriculum. One student says, “I have been able to maintain a work-life balance in part due to free time during slow periods on the job, but I still found three classes per semester too much. I recommend two classes per semester, taking advantage of winter and summer sessions to stay on track to graduate within two years.” The faculty members at WTAMU help to make the MBA program convenient for the hectic lives of Read More...

Santa Clara University’s Leavey School of Business has offered a well-respected physical MBA in the San Francisco Bay Area for decades, and according to students, their new online MBA program has come strongly out of the gate. There’s a quarterly online program that’s all about flexibility, on account of “being online without any set class schedules,” and while the work remains rigorous and demanding, particularly for those already working jobs or raising families, enrollees boast of the time-management skills they’ve picked up along the way, and stress that because you can “take as many classes as you’re willing to handle” and that “extensions [on assignments are] typically … granted by professors upon request, so it’s fairly doable to maintain a work-life balance.”

Some students note that a few bugs are still being worked out in the rollout of the online MBA program, and that not all professors are as equally adept at utilizing the environment’s message boards and video lectures. There is, however, a “clear roadmap to graduation and [professors] are very responsive to our Read More...
