It's official, the little woman and I will start the independent-study Masters of Business Administration (iMBA) program at Syracuse this fall.
The Syracuse University iMBA is offered through the Whitman School of Management and combines in-person residency learning with distance learning. Each semester requires a one-week-residency at the start of the semester. The rest of the semester involves independent study and cohort work coordinated through internet resources and conference calls.
The residency travel, hotel expenses and time away from work make the Syracuse iMBA program pricier than other distance learning MBA programs; but we decided the residency added significant value in networking opportunity and was worth the added cost. The required travel also shakes up the status quo mindset.
The Whitman iMBA is listed as one of the top distance MBA programs by the Financial Times, and is accredited by the AACSB. The iMBA degree is identical to the MBA awarded to other Whitman graduates. (In other words, the degree doesn’t state “executive MBA,” or similar on the diploma.)
The Whitman School of Management has also been top-ranked in Business Week and U.S. News & World Report’s rankings.
If all goes well, we should finish up in 2010.
Go Orange!
This Fed Ex ad poking fun of MBAs cracks me up.
