Student/Alumnus Reviews of Schools for This Career and State
Keller Graduate School Of Management • Arlington, VT
Studying MBA With A Concentration In Accounting (completion in 2011)
• 10/30/2011
"I loved my classes. The instructors were great. The admin side of the school was frustrating."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | The education I got was worth every penny, but the admin side (technical, financial aid, registration) was so confusing and frustrating that I'm not sure the stress was worth it. All schools can't be that disorganized. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | I truly don't know about their reputation, but I haven't heard anything awful about them before, during, or since I went there. |
| Program Quality | 8 | I feel I got a solid education that would prepare me to manage both within my career and elsewhere. |
| Instruction | 8 | The curriculum was exactly what I would expect from an MBA. There was a lot of interesting information to help prepare for management roles. |
| How Difficult | 5 | It wasn't any easier or harder than I would expect from a Masters level degree. With dedication and good time management skills the work load and challenge is doable. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | The online setup was designed to incorporate more than just book learning. We provided examples from our own lives in discussion boards and read case studies outside of the books and did a lot of online searching, especially in the accounting fraud classes. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 9 | I only took classes online. Assignments were usually due a week after they were made available. If you couldn't be available to watch an online lecture live, they were taped so you could view them later. |
| Academic Facilities | I only took online classes. Was only on campus for registrations until I learned how to handle that online. | |
| Social Life | Didn't attend campus events since I was an online student. most were offered during the day or too close to the end of the day. | |
| Placement Services | 5 | I had a job before I started working on my Masters so I didn't need the job placement help. I don't know if they offer anything for people who are content where they are but could use other career assistance so as trying to achieve upward movement. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | Not sure what they offer other than career starting information. |
