This is a relatively new (started 2008) interdisciplinary program. I like the fact that it offers multiple concentrations in leadership, information systems, HR, marketing, and finance. And even though it's set up for a 3-yr schedule, but students have the flexibility of up to 7 years if needed. They also accept transfer credits from incoming students, but only if they are from doctoral-level courses.
I think the overall cost ($44,000+) is something to consider, but overall it looks like a solid program geared towards the already-busy working professional.
Although the price seems reasonable, why would a student need to have 5 years work experience. What happens if the student decides to go straight through school? Why is it necessary for the person to have the same type of undergraduate or masters degree?
