re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

Heya TigerTrainer! My two cents:

ISDS705 & MKT701 are probably the two easiest courses in this program -- at least for me -- a career project manager.

ACCT701 & FIN701 were the two toughest courses for me, based on very little accounting and finance background.

With that being said here is how I'd pair up:

Summer 20 AP1
ISDS 705: Management Information Systems
FIN 701: Financial Management

Fin701 with Kendall is a very challenging course that you can't fake/BS your way through, tests are tough, and the mult. choice contains common math errors, so you gotta know your shite and that f'n financial calulator - but ISDS705 is basically a no-show class (I took Gherfal...but Lin is easy from all accounts). Feel free to pair these with no concern.

Summer 20 AP2
ECON 705: Economic Analysis for Management Fawaz
MADM 701: Organizational Behavior Kungo

My advice here is to avoid Kungu - He's 100% absent, doesn't teach at all just gives reading assignments, relies on AC's to grade discussion posts and papers, you can do a lot better -- regardless, this is a manageable pair that I pulled off earlier.

Fall 20 AP1
ACCT 701: Managerial Use of Accounting Data Huang
MKT 701: Marketing Strategy

I'm currently in Si Chen's MKT 701 - Super easy class, try to get her as your prof (I'm sitting at 102% 5 weeks in -- cases are 6 discussion posts, NO REPLIES, 3 3 page case studies, and 3 quizzes that are NOT hard at all...)
Acct701 with Ambrosio is double-up-able, IF you can make the time to attend his zoom sessions. Dude is a great prof and will put in the work with you to get you the A -- if you don't attend the zoom sessions, its gonna be a bad time...

I'll let others review the specialization -- I took all 3 PM courses for mine...good luck and hit me with any questions!
