Oklahoma Christian University • Edmond, OK
Studying Accounting (completion in 2006)
• 2/20/2012
"OK Christian provided a quality program that allowed me to earn my MBA in the timeframe stated. The program has only received higher marks since I finished."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | You can finish an MBA program in a timely manner and receive a quality education from a university with a topnotch reputation. |
| Program Reputation | 10 | The university is known for providing a valuable and quality education. It is also known for the time (or quickness) it takes to finish your MBA. |
| Program Quality | 10 | The program was an accelerated course of study taking just slightly less than 12 months. The faculty was a mixture of professors and professionals in the fields they were teaching. |
| Instruction | 7 | College professors were great. Adjunct professors were not always great. Some were truly great teachers, able to expand the students' knowledge, but others were not meant to teach. Just because you work in a field does not mean you can teach it. |
| How Difficult | 8 | Workload was reasonable and somewhat of a challenge. Some classes were easier than others. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Everything we did was book learning. That was one area administration was working on, trying to come up with more hands on (depending on the course you were taking). | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 2 | Students had two options. You could attend Mondays and Thursdays, 6:00-9:00, and this program took less than 12 months. Or, you could attend Tuesdays only, 6:00-9:00, and the program took 24 months. Classes were set, except for the summer session, when you chose your major's classes. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | Classrooms were adequate. OK Christian has a great internet library connection. Every student receives a Dell laptop, so the entire campus is wireless. Study groups are a must in an accelerated course study, and tutors were found quickly when asked for. |
| Social Life | 9 | My cohort became very close. We did not have time for much socializing outside the classroom, but we did manage to have several activities right after class was finished. |
| Placement Services | 8 | I, along with most of my classmates, already had full-time employment. During the year I was in classes, several job fairs and lunches with companies looking for workers were offered. |
| Alumni Network | 8 | Alumni network is very active. It strives to keep graduates informed of the happenings of the university. |

| Hands-On vs. Bookish | There was a good balance between both types. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | I worked full-time and was able to get all of the classes needed to work with my schedule. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | The professors made themselves readily available. The campus was well equipped with all the resources needed. |
