Why did you chose the UW MBA Consortium? I wanted an online program that was rated well and was affordable. The UW MBA Consortium program was one of the first programs I found, and the one I chose after having good conversations with administrative staff. They had a good course offering and seemed to be the best bang for the buck and the best value all around.
What has been the best part of your experience thus far? I’ve really enjoyed the instructors and classes so far and the 100% online program is key for me. I am not sure I could do an in-person program. As a former educator, I have been impressed with the quality of the faculty that teach in this program.
What advice do you have for prospective and/or new students? You need to be very disciplined and focused to put 10-15 hours per week into your classes if you want to do well and learn a lot. The flexibility of the online program works well for those working and having family commitments.
