I am thinking of getting my online MBA from LSU Shreveport, but I am unable to find anybody who has completed any of the program. I am trying to figure out the difficulty of the courses, so that I can determine if I will be able to double up on the classes and finish within a year.

If anyone knows anything about the program, please let me know what experiences you have had with it.

Thanks

Go the executive MBA route. Meet people that want to succeed and advance.

Connections are the most valuable takeaway from MBA classes....don't be limited by online classes.

I am not too worried about meeting other people who want to succeed and advance. I am surrounded by them at my current job. I am limited to online classes due to my intense travel schedule.

If you are going online, there are better than LSU.

USnews does a number of MBA rankings.

I understand that there are better online colleges, but I am looking for a 100% online degree from a Louisiana college, so that it doesn't scream online college on my resume. There are only 3 in the state: UL Monroe, LSUS and Southwestern Louisiana in Kenner.

Just want to know if anyone has had any experience with LSUS.

I don't know anything about the LSU program, but I have taken online graduate level courses from well known brick and mortar schools, and the time required to complete the work was huge compared to a going to a traditional class, this seems to be a common trait among online programs.

The LSUS online MBA is a very good program that is very challenging. The courses are compressed into a 7 week format which requires you to stay on top of your game. It's difficult to take more than one class per 7 week session. Also, the program is AACSB accredited. Only 5% of business schools have this distinction. It is by far the cheapest AACSB program on the mArket. It's perfect for those who are in their careers and just want a MBA to sharpen their existing skills. However,I wouldn't recommend it for kids coming out of undergrad without any experience and who do not live in Louisiana. A brick and mortar MBA is only good for networking and finding a job. You can learn the content without stepping foot in a classroom.

Their website says that "it can be completed in as little as 12 months."

I wonder if 12 months is feasible for full time workers? That would be 3 classes per semester?

LSUS doesn't do semesters like BR does. The online classes are only 7 weeks long, and I would think they would limit it the number of classes you could take per 7 week period not to exceed 2.
