Your Grad School

[Old Rusty Pipe]

I thought this might be a good topic. Tell us about the Masters (of PhD) program you're enrolled in. School, costs, customer service, whatever is deemed appropriate. Let this serve as both an inspiration to those still pursuing their undergrad degree, and as a source of information for those looking to go beyond that.

I'll go first.

Master of Leadership and Business Ethics from Duquesne Univeristy

From what I can tell, Duquesne is the only school in the country offering an online Masters in the topic of business ethics. Tuition is reasonably priced for military members at $292 a credit hour, but for everyone else its 3 times that much. The customer service at Duquesne is exceptional, and I always get prompt replies from all my inquiries.

I find the curriculum itself to be enjoyable. The leadership classes are actually proving to be very useful as well as fun. This was an unexpected bonus. The business ethics courses are also challenging, but in a mostly enjoyable sort of way. Each course is a different area of ethics. While all the courses relate back to organizations and business, there is still a great variety in topics.

I chose this degree over an MBA entirely out of interest. I found my business administration degree to be fulfilling but mostly dry. I didn't enjoy it the way I enjoyed my philosophy or religion courses. I find that the Business Ethics degree offers a nice compromise. It does have relevance in a business setting, but also encourages the kind of abstract debates that I find most enjoyable.
