Looks like we're all counting on you to review the program as you go along!

@askhir - Have you decided specifically to complete the MAOL at UMPI? I think the Brandman deal would be slightly better for the price if the courses are virtually identical. I mean, if they switch to UMASS Global, it'll be part of a large university system just like UMPI.

Will do! Where did you get your six sigma belt I’m thinking of dropping $400 on the GoLeanSixSigma. It’s what a lot of top companies use but they’re newer.

I have yes. Because I’m familiar with UMPI and know they will accommodate me. I don’t know too much about Brandman and they don’t respect I don’t want to talk on the phone. I spoke to my CEO and a dew other industry leaders out here in SoCal between the three I applied to. They think loyalty to my BA is more attractive from an executive point of view.

That's where I got my online course from, GoLeanSixSigma.com.  My work organized and paid for it, it was pretty good.  If you really put your head down, you can get it done in a couple of days. I just did a module a week, so it took me 6 weeks.

Wow! How’s the class?

I start May 10th. I just got the enrollment info from Jessica early on. Plus a list of all finals and what's required. Looks like most finals are going to be 15-20 pages. Wheras the BA was only 5-7 pages.

I was wondering about the Milestones and what sort of assignments they are.  I know for my GS Business Administration Capstone at TESU, there was so much coursework (18 assignments, and they were all about 3-4 pages long) in addition to the mid-term exam and the final long paper.   I don't think I could face that much work again just for 3 credits.
