Nicholls state online mba program

All comes down to what you are trying to achieve with the MBA...

Career change?
Check the box?
Advance in current role/function?
Building network?

Your answers can greatly impact your decision for which program to pursue.

I personally think it is admirable and would respect it as a hiring employer (if you completed the program WHILE also working full time). I enjoy hearing stories in interviews about the personal sacrifices that folks made while juggling a full time job and going back to school (either for a Bachelor's Degree or Graduate Degree).

Over the past decade,I have changed my perspective on what I look for in candidates when it comes to MBAs. I have had some employees with "impressive schools on paper" that ended up NOT putting out an impressive job performance because of their lack of people skills or their feeling above putting in the tactical grind work that is sometimes needed to win against competitors.

How much is the tuition? Is your employer giving you any reimbursement?

Tell me you know nothing about Nicholls without telling me you know nothing about Nicholls.

To the OP, the business department is AACSB accredited. Meaning it’s in the top 5% of business schools. The online only and hybrid MBA routes are still in their infancy. Faculty are top notch. I received my online MBA from LSUS but if Nicholls would’ve had the online only option back then I more than likely would’ve gone through that program.

My apologies as it probably came across different. I meant that out of all business schools globally, only 5% are AACSB accredited. Still a remarkable designation.

I can tell you he can't spell Nicholls. But that went over your head.

AACSB accreditation is overplayed…any decent school in the states is going to have it. It definitely should not be a deciding factor on school choice….maybe the absence would be a scratch but the inclusion doesn’t distinguish.

It really depends on your goals. For a check the box advancement in your current role, it’s probably fine. If you’re trying to pivot to strategy consulting or investment banking…not so much

Who are you actually communicating with online? Who is on the other end looking at your input? Is it a syndicated program with a "Nicholls" label on it? Inquiring minds...

Another thing to keep in mind is the experience of the professor in that delivery method. Many seasoned traditional lecture-based professors don’t like and aren’t comfortable with online instruction. For others, that’s all they know and thrive.
