re: LSUS Online MBA Reviews

@quintus, great post. I found the overviews (e.g. Baroqen's) super helpful so I'm sure others will as well. And thank you, @PresJohnTyler.

@rybo44, can you please email me at kikicub7@gmail.com- I want to run some PMP application things by you if you don't mind?

I will start the Google Sheet this weekend. I think maybe we should do a Google Form so it can be anonymous like: LINK

Good luck islandniloc, I am in MKT 701 now with Khan and it has been a pretty steady workload. Every other week there is a paper due 4-7 pages and quiz every week which seems to be tied to class performance (lots of A's and B's more complex questions on next quiz). A couple of chapters of reading every week. 2 lectures and Power Point slides.I have combined this with ACCT 701 and I will say each one individually would be steady work during the week if you have a full time job, but combined, I spend every night reading, watching lectures, researching for the paper, writing papers and Sundays I study and take the quizes. I have heard that MADM 760 has a heavy work load.

How do you get on the wait list for a course? I would like to take econ 705 in March, but I don't see where it is offered.

@PurplePower

Getting on the wait list is a ridiculous process according to my advisor, here's the steps she email me:

Thanks for the info and thoughts. It's greatly appreciated.

Looking for a little advice on this program. I'm about 90% sure I'm about to go ahead and apply for it. The cost is just too hard to pass up for an accredited online program while working full time.

I currently work in sales for a small business in marine transportation/Commercial fishing/industrial/O&G fields. I plan on being with them for a very long time, so I'm looking to further my education in order to help accelerate my growth within the company. I'm trying to decide between the Project Management Concentration and the Entrepreneurship & Family Enterprise Concentration. Either way I go, I'll most likely choose the elective for the other concentration.

Projects we manage are usually working in coordination with Engine Companies and O & G companies to supply our products for a fleet of boats or onshore drilling rigs. I feel like project management would help in this area, but the other concentration would help with learning how to run a business.

Any suggestions on how to decide between the 2 or which one I would get the best ROI? I appreciate any advice.

Kiki, great post on the class details. Thank you for being a great contributor on this forum.

Hi All,

MKT 715: Advanced Marketing Analytics is my last class in the online program coming up in March & I was wondering if anyone has taken this class? It used to be BADM 790-MA.

The professor teaching this one will be Mohamad Darrat.

Any insight on what kind of assignments, exams, projects there are would be helpful

Based on this, I will drop a class if I have her as a grader.

I’m so glad to be done with the required MADM courses. I feel like the material is just whatever garbage the consultants are pushing at the time. The material itself is subject to a conflict of interest since the text book authors, graders, and professors are usually consultants who benefit from the dissemination of their theories.
