New CBE Accelerated MBA from UMass Global

Is it feasible to finish it in 6 months?

I think 6 months is attainable. The first two courses were very fast. Finance has a lot of reading. I only had one finance class as an undergrad so I am taking my time to learn the concepts. I had some concerns during the enrollment process, but I am really enjoying the classes thus far.

Does anyone have a contact for enrollment or know when the deadlines/sessions are? I've been following this thread and was interested, but can't seem to get anyone to email be back or talk to the right person on the phone.

It's rolling enrollment, but it's possible they may have stopped enrolling if they have met their goal for the number of students in the pilot program. If you contacted them from the program page, I'm not sure what else to do but try the same again.

@huiwh1998 Confirming, that 6 months is very attainable! Grading is also usually fast, and even with a couple delays here and there some are already on course 6, just 6 weeks in.

Yes, completing in 6 months will be possible. Still curious to see what the capstone will involve.

UMass CBE should be very similar to UMPI, WGU, etc. Speed will depend on your previous experience and knowledge.

I submitted my application and talked to the enrollment coach (I believe her name is Leah?) I was told the program is limited to their partner organizations and don't open to the public anymore for the upcoming term starting in January. I mentioned they opened to the public in September but she told me at this point it's not opened to the public

They must have reached their max allotment for the pilot cohort.

[bjcheung77]

Did they indicate when the next cohort would be for the public?  And to elaborate on my previous post #106, 

The thing is, how fast can someone progress through the term, all depends on how well they prioritize their commitments and time constraints. In other words, it can be as fast or slow as they can go, depending on their time management, effectiveness and efficiency on completing the required assessments or assignments.

... and what they already know! The statistics class has taken me longer than most of the others because I'm pretty rusty on statistics and some of the concepts were new to me.

I haven't heard when the next cohort will be for the public. I also don't know if the price will be the same. I imagine it might be regular tuition at that point.
