West Chester University's online MBA program is an excellent value. The program is AACSB accredited, classes are small in size, students are engaged, faculty are committed to blending theory and practice, and the price/credit is low. MBA students have the opportunity to participate in a due diligence fellowship with the Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic, a chapter of the world's world's largest Accredited Investor - Private Equity Community.
WCU's MBA program is an excellent mix of theory and practice designed for real world students. The faculty are all top notch, with experience "out there", having done what they are teaching. Most of the students are experienced in one way or another too, which really enriches the classroom experience. The administration is involved with the students and they know you here - you aren't just a number. In addition, the program has hard to earn AACSB accreditation and in-state rates for everyone. It really is a value. The courses start every seven weeks, and go all year, and students have the option of in person and online courses, or a combo. That makes it work in the real world where we have to balance work, study, family and play. It really is a great place to earn your MBA!
Excellent mix of theory and practice. The program offers courses in two formats -- Distance Education and Live Delivery to match student temperament and available time. Chosen educational materials/textbooks are all best in field. Fees represent a tremendous value in education.
West Chester University’s MBA program offers an excellent academic program at a very reasonable price. It is the best value in the market place today. The AACSB-accredited program offers a flexible yet rigorous portfolio of classes. At ProMetrics, Inc. (King of Prussia, PA) we have had the opportunity to work with interns and fill a full-time position with students of the WCU MBA program. The program produces well-rounded graduates ready to contribute in new and meaningful ways to the companies employing them, or successfully embark on a new rewarding career path. I am eager and happy to strongly recommend the WCU MBA degree to ambitious business leaders of tomorrow seeking an accommodating, convenient, accredited, challenging, cost-effective MBA experience. Many of the professors associated with the WCU MBA possess valuable executive-level experience affording students the opportunity to gain a real world perspective on the many tools, techniques and theories learned.
This is a comprehensive degree which offers considerable value for the student. The coursework provides a practical mix of tools to assist in the management of complex organizations in a rapidly changing business environment.
I am approaching my last semester and final course of the WCU MBA program. The program offered a variety of courses, a number of different teaching styles, and flexibility. Starting the program in PA and finishing in VA, I really appreciated the option to take in-class or online courses. The program is also very affordable.
Overall I was very pleased with the WCU MBA program. It provided me a quality education and a degree that has value. The accreditation was one of the things that drew me to it away from the online MBA degree I had been pursuing at UoP. I would have given a better overall rating but the program was just launching their online offerings and were still working some of the kinks out of it. AS mentioned by several of the other reviewers, the program was very well oriented towards working professionals.
The West Chester program was great. I learned quite a bit during my time there. The scheduling was a bit clunky, but they always bent to what I needed to let me complete my program on time. All in all a good experience.
West Chester University fit my life and my budget. I was able to learn from a great group of teachers, many of which had significant professional business experience. Teachers and staff were always available and willing to take their time to make the MBA program a special experience. The program also met the scheduling demands of a busy life, allowing me to pace myself as needed. I would recommend WCU for anyone looking to take their career to the next level.
I decided to attend West Chester University for my MBA largely because of the convenience of the online courses. As a majority of my time at work is spent traveling internationally I was able to allocate the necessary time to my courses because of the accommodating professors and structure of the classes. Being able to complete my degree in less than two years because of the four semesters per year offered by the university was also something that weighed heavily in my decision on a master’s program.
Overall the program was affordable and offered what I was seeking in obtaining my degree. The professors in all the courses were engaging, approachable and brought real world experience to the classes. Even though classes can be taken online students are required to engage in discussions, debates, and group assignments that are expected with any MBA program.
I encourage those researching MBA programs to consider West Chester’s program. The professors' interest in the success of the students, and the faculty’s desire to provide a dynamic curriculum will be valuable for the future of the program.
