re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

saints5021, thanks for coming back to this thread and sharing your insights. I agree that LSUS is a bargain for what you get - a degree from a respected university system. When I tell people I'm earning my MBA from LSU Shreveport campus, all they hear is LSU. The high profile of the LSU system, due to the football, basketball, and baseball programs (currently in the College World Series!) gives a diploma from this system a major advantage.

Does anyone know if the 2017-2018 academic calendar is available?

Hi All!

I'm a long time thread lurker. Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for all the information you share here. It's been very helpful for me. I'm finally done with the BADM's and I'm taking Econ 705 next session.

she sent an email out saying the syllabus would be released a week prior to class start, and the books we needed.

I still have not received my grade for MADM 701. The class and professor continue to disappoint to the end.

That is a fair point. She was a week and a half late to allow students to buy the text. It would be unreasonable to believe she would meet the institution timeline for submitting grades.

Well I managed to finish MADM 752 with a 91.7 and MADM 701 with a 90! Glad to have my elective out of the way and a core class. Those who are looking for an elective 752 is not too bad, it's just the mindtap quizzes that are frustrating. Everything else in the class was pretty simple. But those writing assignments carry a lot of weight, so they can really help with the struggling of the mindtap quizzes. Just my opinion..

I was in these classes also. I start my last two classes of the program July 3rd. For anyone who is interested here is my total overview of the program. I went the general business route. My undergraduate was not in business, so i had to take both BADM prerequisites. I have followed this board for the past 12 months and appreciate all the insight as to what to expect. I doubled up on classes every time since I had to take the two BADM700 and 701 classes. I also work full time and had our second child this year. I will say finishing the program and working full time with a family is feasible, but you have to have a great support system. It has been a rough 12 months, but it is worth it!

BADM700- very simple. Great overview for non-business undergrads.

BADM701- Same as above. Good overview of what to expect from the program.

ACCT701- Great class to double up with. Ambrosio was great at explaining any concepts and was very involved with the class.

ECON705- One of the easier classes for me to pair. The excess work made up for any issues on the test.

FIN701- This was my only B in the program so far. I was not a finance major, so I feel my background is more of what my issue was. Vines is a great teacher, I struggled with testing being the only source of grades.

MADM701 - One of my least favorites. I finished with a 91, but it was a struggle. I will say anytime I contacted the coach or the professor, they were quick to respond and both very considerate. Utilizing Proctorio was not that bad.

MADM760 - Great class to pair something else with. Fairly simple, easy to follow. Dr. Meeks is a good professor and provides good feedback. It required weekly group video meetings. Being in different time zones made it difficult for everyone to be on the same page.

MKT701 - This was my first class in the course after my BADM700 and 701 classes. I do not recommend doubling up with this if you are under strict time constraints. It seems from what I have read, the class has changed drastically, but I cannot speak to if that is a good thing or not. I doubt it is...

MADM752- Overall straight forward class, aside from the MindTap quizzes. The grading on all other material made up for the terrible quizzes. Decent elective and not too time consuming.

MADM720- I wasn't a fan of this class. The grading seemed to vary drastically from one week to the next in regards to writing assignments.

I start my last two classes on Monday, ISDS705 and MADM710. As stated, doubling up every term and working full time is possible, but also difficult. Thanks again to everyone on this board who has given insight to the classes they have taken. It has helped me prepare over the last year!
