I am mid career in my life. My goal was to find an online school that would be valued in the corporate world. I checked around to discover regional accreditation is required.
The program was somewhat difficult to start as each course is completely self study. You buy the books, write essays and take a proctored test. One item you will like is studying with a real world case study from Harvard and other universities and writing your papers on theory related to the case.
Once you get the hang of setting time to study, writing papers and preparing for the proctored exam then you will be fine. Be very sure you find a great place to take your proctored exams.
Initially, it is difficult to get all the materials in one binder to carry you through the course. Fortunately, you have to conduct a call every week with a competent mentor to guide you and there are specific school run blogs to help you.
I give the program an A- so far as it is not easy to press a button to buy and download everything I need to start a course. On the other hand, I save about 30% by shopping for books. One last thing: buy all the books for each course as the proctored exam will touch each book.
