I wonder if anyone on here has attended any of these programs. I haven't seen much chat about them at all. I'm guessing that's due to price and length of the programs? I spent 10 months and less than $9000 on my MBA.
I've only seen a couple of colleges who included books in tuition aside from CBE programs. There's usually a fee to cover the book rentals so they're not really free. I had this at Charleston Southern University. I had to pay to ship the books to me and pay to ship them back. If they're late, there's HUGE fees.
How long it takes to complete those degrees should be on their websites. A lot will depend if you're full or part time.
In my MBA program, I only had 1 class with a group project and that was a class I elected to take as it wasn't a requirement. I personally would avoid any group projects in online classes. In my experience, they're 10 times worse than B&M group projects. At least with B&M projects, you see each other in class and have an opportunity to talk to the professor. Emailing a professor just isn't the same. And trying to get people in the group to respond is an absolute nightmare.
In my MBA program, there was a lot of writing. Lots of reading as well. Amberton's MBA programs have like 6 (maybe more) concentrations. In mine, I had a lot of freedom to take the classes I wanted. The university also has the syllabus for each class on their website so you can see what work is involved before enrolling in a course. This was a really nice feature to have. I don't know of other colleges who do this. I wish more did!
