I am going to be graduating tesc with a bsba general management.
It will start with saying the program is very manageable.
I hate to diminished my own degree, but having graduated from Patten University here is what I will say. There are some instructor/professors there that truly care about the education being offered to students. Unfortunately this is not the norm. I found a lot of inconsistency in their evaluation system, instructor qualifications for the masters level, and care of students in general. It was very obvious that I was the first student to complete the MBA in IT so hopefully they will fix the issues I experienced.
The main issue that I had was many of their projects I did not receive the feedback I wanted for areas I lost points. In a masters program I expect that I would receive feedback to ensure my concept comprehension. This was not the case many times. When it came to evaluations, some courses had exams that if you read the course material, you would have no problem. Other courses seemed like they had someone from a different country write it and then used a language converter without reading the questions and answer choices to make sure they still made sense.
If you are interested in the MBA I would ask that you reach out to Peter Francis at pfrancis@patten.edu (he is by far the best professor there and truly cares about students). Tell him what you goals in the education are and see what program will work for you.
Now that I am complete, my next step is PMP Certification, PMI-ACP, and CompTIA Security+
Hope this help!
