Louisiana State University - Shreveport Reviews of Master's in Business Administration

A great education for an affordable price. The MBA program like many online programs require a lot of self learning but it’s a perfect match for me who prefers this online format to strict class times. Courses have been easy to register for and provide quality content while also including textbooks for free. The pacing of the classes are pretty quick given the accelerated nature of the courses so those attending definitely need to make time in their schedule to sit down with the materials. The software... Read More for classes work fairly well with Moodle being the learning platform and Proctorio being the exam proctor. Though some less technologically inclined professors might not use all the features Moodle has to offer and Proctorio might not work well for those that like to take exams last minute. Overall, I’ve really enjoyed my time in my program and look forward to learning more and hopefully graduating in the Spring!

LSUS is an affordable graduate program where the student gets out what they put in. The majority of the professors were good. Out of 10 professors, 1 was horrible and 3 were exceptional and 6 were ok. The community of students, although online, is vibrant and engaging. Exams are proctored via a 3rd party, when I was there it was Proctor U. During the 2020-2021 years, the key to Proctor U was scheduling testing time in advance. In my opinion, this program is suited well for mid-career professionals... Read More where an MBA will facilitate career advancement. Again, the best part is affordability and value, with the right planning, there is no need for loans and debt.

I chose to go enroll at LSUS due to the (semi) recognizable name as well as the cost in comparison to similar online MBA programs. I can honestly say I do not regret my decision. Like with any school, some professors are certainly better than others and I was definitely not of fan of ProctorU (they have since discontinued using them). However between the community and support of fellow students as well as the ease of their financial aid office, I would say the overall experience was positive. Having... Read More an MBA has definitely helped my career and I would recommend the program to others. Just remember that you get what you put in.

This is a fantastic choice for grad school. I researched for a long time for a good ACCSB accredited schools for my MBA, and finally took a chance and joined the LSUS accelerated MBA program. It is challenging, and you have to commit and plan a good portion of your time of the week for the course work. If you plan out well, it is indeed doable. I enrolled two classes each session, and graduated in about ten months. I did it with a full time job and a kid. I used rate my professor.com to chose my... Read More teachers, and they all turned out to be great and fair. I got all As and graduated with a 4.0 GPA. Their platforms, customer service, and proctor services were great, I truly enjoyed my learning here. To all the people who are willing to be organized and plan you week, and wants to graduate fast with a worthy MBA, this is a great school pick. I would recommend it in a heart beat. Tuition costs are not astronomical, and my experience from day one was nothing short of wonderful!

I enrolled in this university to improve my chances of advancing in my career but so far it is actually having a negative impact on it. I am enrolled in the Online MBA program and I just wish I did not. The workload in some classes is absolutely unbearable and it has had a very negative impact on my job and physical and mental health as well. Simply put, some classes require that you spend more than 40+ hours a week working on them. For example, some classes require that you present a 2,000+ words... Read More paper with very specific requirements every single week for 7 weeks straight, on top of reading a couple of chapters (almost 200 pages) and preparing for weekly exams that focus on minor details of the text. Basically, you have to have a photographic memory to absorb the content of the text to be able to get a good grade. My family has seen me study and work to the point of exhaustion for this MBA and many have expressed concerns about it. In terms of instruction, you are paying to get materials and access to online lessons that you must teach yourself. The amount of teacher-student interaction is nonexistent or minimal. For those who are considering the online MBA, please, see other options.
