This program is highly accredited and one of the most affordable MBA programs with such accreditation.Group work is encouraged and was very enjoyable. Professors do interact with the students, although there could have been more interaction. Overall, I enjoyed every minute of it.
As a working professional that completed her Bachelor's degree over 10 years ago, I felt that getting a MBA would help further my business knowledge from a strategic standpoint. The Georgia WebMBA is a challenging, accredited program that meets the needs of busy, working professionals. Although it's done online, there is an extensive amount of interaction within your cohort as well as within your own team that makes you feel like your in a typical classroom setting. I'd highly recommend this program and would encourage anyone that's in it, to stick with it. It's all worth it in the end.
I have worked in a global company for the last 11 years, and when I decided to pursue an MBA doing it online was the only option due to my travel schedule. What I found most impressive is the way the program adheres to real world scenarios of having to work with a diverse team that is commonly not located together. Having to adapt and learn how to work with team members via the latest collaboration technology available is how it truly is when working for a global company. For those students who do not have this real world experience this is a great way to get a sense of how collaborating with a dispersed team actually is.
This program fit perfectly for me for 3 reasons: (1) I am a very experienced professional and UWG allowed me to bypass the GMAT that sped up my program, (2) No on-site requirement so it did nto conflict with my current job, and (3) fully accredited. The program is not easy and you and your team are pretty much on your own and there is no classroom to learn from. Professors are available for questions, but you must rely on the other students the most. 2 years of no nights and weekends but worth it.
