I have been working on my degree on line for nearly four years. They are very supportive of adult learners and even people with learning disabilities and ADHD can get extra help and even extra time to write exams. Your exams can be written at home with an online invigilator. It easy to get student aid through them and their courses are all accredited with the professors always available to help as well.

A comprehensive and excellent program for executives. However you better have great self discipline, as nobody will hold your hand and walk you through the courses.

A comprehensive and excellent program for executives. However you better have great self discipline, as nobody will hold your hand and walk you through the courses.
As with all things in life, you will get out of the program what you put into it.

I would recommend taking an online English writing course if your writing is subpar as you will write a ton (you will read a ton as well), and if you are a slow writer you will have to work extra hard.

Be aware, you will need to do three math courses (unless you are exempt) and two of them are absolute monsters (economics and corporate finance) - the first math course is managerial accounting and it is a difficult course but very good. Expect to watch a ton of online videos to learn how to do the course work if you struggle to learn math on your own and from a book expect to struggle. But if you work hard enough you will get through it!

The MBA program is well respected across the country and it holds the highest level of accreditation for a business school. When I speak to graduates from other MBA programs, you will release how strong AU’s program is! You will also have instructors from all over the country whom teach at different universities as well or professors from across the world - many from the “best institutions”.

One more positive is that AU has a huge MBA alumni and the networking among graduates is strong as they realize the quality of students coming out of this program!
