I’m just past the half way point in both my current course and in the 4 year, part-time, distance, MBA program that I’ve been taking through Colorado State University.

Is it a good program?  I’d say that it’s all that I need but, then again, it’s all that I know when it comes to MBAs.  My other graduate degree is theological in nature, an M.Div that I completed at a large, Baptist school in the early 90s.  In comparison, I do miss the face to face interaction of the classroom but the tradeoff, for the sake of time and convenience, is worth it to me right now.

Colorado State’s program is based on a web client for class interaction, submission of assignments, exams, and distribution of materials as well as a textbook and a weekly DVD recording of the most recent class.  DVDs arrive within five days of the class for distance students but distance assignments are due a week later than for on campus students.

Is it credible?  While not a top 25 school, Colorado State is a major, top tier, research university and the program is AACSB accredited.  For someone seeking either personal growth or advancement within their field, it’s perfect!
