re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

Just got back from commencement. Here are my thoughts:

1) While invited to both BGS and SIE, I opted to join BGS. The induction ceremonies were jointly held. There were only 13 BGS inductees vs 34 SIE (although a large majority of BGS folks also joined SIE). The BGS inductees were given a certificate and a pin while the SIE inductees were given a certificate and a shaw to wear during commencement. I am unsure as to why there was a imbalance of people who joined BGS vs SIE ($90 vs $60, entry requirements?)

2) The induction ceremony was 40min long and I give it 7 out of 10 stars

3) The online brunch was from 10 to 12, a small goodie bag was given to each graduate while some video testimonials were played. I give this 7 out of 10 stars

4) The commencement itself was a full 2 hours with undergrad and grad students together. Nice keynote but a really long and drawn out production. There were tons of enthusiastic families yelling and shouting, often drowning out names of the next to be called. Overall a 6 out of 10 stars

5) The diploma itself is a puny 8.5 x 11, no logo and very unassuming. 5 out of 10 stars

I drove 5 hours each way to walk. I mainly did this to show my kids what hard work looks like and would recommend it if you would like to do the same. If its only you or just you and your spouse and you're further than 1hr away, get your diploma mailed to you.

I walk away from this program relived its over but with mixed emotions as to whether I made the right choice, not that I can change anything now.

The best of luck to you all in the rest of the program and in your future endeavors.

One last nana on my way out...
