Don't worry Ted, he is not representative, although it was a hoot to
read! I will be completing my UOP MBA in a couple weeks and found it to
be a challenging and rewarding experience.
There are those who question the program, but it is up to grads to step
up to the bar and defend themselves. Truth be told, you will find that
those looking down on UOP have something to lose by it's success, or
they are just ill-informed.
The war is over anyway...the whole world is going virtual but many are
fighting change. Still online learning grows and grows, with a few
complainers or ignorant confusing the issue.
Would be happy to answer any questions...
