There are some finance modules that are time-consuming but very doable...best of all, NO PROCTOR EXAMS!

Overall, it is very writing intensive but once you figure out how they grade you can write a paper in a day.  I actually completed 25 credits in 6 weeks last semester after I figured this out.

It is also worth mentioning that there are 2 "regular courses" (this represents the other 8 credits for a total of 60 credits) - the first course and the last course so you have to plan these semesters accordingly as it does get difficult to balance.

I would not say it is like WGU because there are no proctor exams and the prep work for the assessment is minimal (if you have a business undergrad degree.)

Hope this helps and let me know if you have more questions...

So, you basically have to write 52 5-page papers and take two courses? How long do the courses take? How long did it take you to complete the entire program? Sounds like it might be easy for a good writer with an undergrad in business...

Thank you so much for your feedback and answering questions!

It is more like 60 5-page papers (and a few powerpoint presentations) when you account for the 2 standard courses.  You also have the finance projects that take a couple weeks of working on it all day.

I completed it in 4 terms and feel like I am writing 1 paper per day.  It is honestly a crazy workload with a full-time job but I travel a lot and can commit a lot of plane and hotel time to these papers.

I should also mention that there really is no shortcut to any of the assignments but if you can carve out 6 months of all free time it is not that bad.  If you don't feel comfortable writing master's level APA essay's you will hate this program and get frustrated quickly.  (For the record, I am not a fan of writing but I am comfortable doing the work.)
