re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

Yeah I think that is fairly accurate for Northeast. Nothing against LSUS, but if I was 10-years younger I probably would take some loans and go locally for my MBA (Temple, Villanova, Penn St Brandywine). But where I am at in my career I couldn't justify a $45-70k loan for an MBA. Even the local Jesuit school's MBA is 60k!!!
I did have concerns about the perception of LSUS in my area, but like you I think most people will think LSU. Most people here probably have no idea where LSU is - they just know the state. I also think it may help me stand out if I ever do decide to make a career change. Most people here went to schools in PA, NJ or DE so LSUS may seem kind of exotic to an HR associate who sees the same schools on a daily basis. All of this made sense at the time. I remember my first job after undergrad up in Philly the fact that I went to an SEC school was always a topic of conversation in a good way.

I highly doubt AACSB is going away with this school. If that was the case, why did they bother with proctoring? Also, most AACSB accredited programs require Management Info Sys. as part of their curriculum. LSUS just made a change to align with that. Doesn't make sense to make all these changes to mirror other schools just to lose accreditation.
As for the books, I will agree that some books were really valuable (Playing to Win; I still can't find what happened to my copy) and others not so much. Realistically, good information can come from any source like TED talks, HBR, WSJ... fundamental business principles generally don't change. Do new theories and practices come out? Sure, all the time. If the school can find a way to get books free and the material is relevant in improving your leadership toolbox, then it should be looked at as plus. I got most of the books free and I doubt they are any better than the ones the school is going include for free.
