I saw the message that we can use FIN 740 as an alternative to one of the Data Analytics requirements, but I don't see it on the course rotation. Anyone have any insight as to which terms they might be offering this class (other than Spring AP2)? Unless I make changes to AP2, I'll only have MKT ...

This is completely off topic of the LSUS MBA but it just blew my mind. I know most people don't take Liberal Arts very seriously but I find this ridiculous. I was looking thru the LSUS catalog and stumbled onto their Masters in Liberal Arts program. Ten 3-credit classes sounds on par with other...

[quote]Thanks guys. Looking now to see what else is open.[/quote] If you haven't already dropped ACCT or are still on the fence, I'd chime in to agree that you should seriously consider doing so. Wk-7 is the heaviest workload and if I'm not mistaken, you MUST take the final on a specific day. N...

Just looked up the end-of-program assessment I took for AACSB in DEC 2017. Reviewing my results, it didn't break down my performance vs BBA and MBA separately... it just gave percentile ranking with "all other exam scores completed by students in the US region". It then broke results down in...

[quote]I just got an email from the MBA program telling me I need to take a 35 question Proctorio proctored end of program exam as part of their AACSB accreditation. While this is not a "test" as they put it (wont impact GPA, graduation or anything) I wonder what the content will be like. Hoping its...

Geaux and Get, thanks for the feedback. Sometimes I like to get a sanity check or maybe walked off a ledge. Most of the downsides Geaux mentioned played into my decision to not attend locally in the long run, but are very manageable in the short run. Getting admitted as a "visiting student" is ...

I took the LSUS program for the same reasons as most of you. I would have preferred a local option allowing me to interact/network/study with professionals in my area, but that wasn't practical and also a very acceptable loss for all the benefits of LSUS online. I see incessant grumblings abou...

Baroq, [quote]That passion for the subject shines through and drives his passion to help others love it, or at least learn it.

GeauxUF and Baroqen - I very much appreciate all your insights. Understand what you say about gold standard does not equate to easy. I'm actually excited about this class. There is a ton I can learn and apply to my work life, just hope I didn't dig myself in too much of a hole in the first wee...

I am not a double-up kinda guy; have been going slow and steady one class at a time. That said, doubling up on ISDS 705 seems to be a strong recurring theme. I'm thinking about doing 702-Koksal/705-Lin together. One @GeauxUF comment worries me and gives me hope at the same time. [quote]the...
