Each 7-week term course is a full 3 credit graduate course.

Five terms are offered in each academic year (Fall 1, Fall 2, Spring 1, Spring 2 and Summer). Our compressed courses are 7 weeks long, instead of the traditional 15-week semester. How are you compressed courses different than regular courses? That’s how effective the courses and our sense of community is. We see faculty and students chatting as old friends even though they never had been in the same room. It is quite amazing how well we get to know our students, even if they never meet us in person until graduation. We get you answers sooner rather than later. You have deadlines for work, family and school. This means that student questions and concerns don’t get lost in the ether. You’re an adult student. Generally, our faculty have a 24-hour response policy. In our courses, faculty and students interact through a learning management system that provides for both individualized and group discussions, quizzes and exams, paper submission tools, videos, lectures, and almost any other electronic means of communication that is current today. We also interact through technologies like Skype and Zoom to allow for a face-to face relationship for our online students. Students interact with faculty in several ways. Our faculty is very accessible, and they can be reached by “traditional” means – in person office hours, telephone, email, and the like. How do students in the online MBA program interact with faculty? Many of our students do come to campus to advising and career support. We do have a full brick-and-mortar support structure available on campus that every student may access (and a full-scale graduation ceremony with the rest of our graduate students). There are no requirements to attend courses physically at West Chester, or to ever set foot on campus. Each student brings something different to the table, and that dynamic changes from course to course – students don’t get into a “rut” of the same group of students in each and every course – that’s one of the pitfalls of a cohort model.Īre students required to attend class on-campus at West Chester? We also have doctors, attorneys, engineers and pharmacists in the MBA.

We are small enough for a strong sense of community, but large enough to provide variety and opportunity for all our students A 20-year marketing professional will be in the same course as a 10-year entrepreneur, or a freshly minted CPA.

We’ve found that this model also really helps to expand our students’ horizons. This way our students can take part of a semester, or a summer off for work and family commitments and still pursue their degree. We’ve found that it is much more effective to allow students to complete their degree at their own pace, 1 or 2 courses at a time, as their work and life balance allows. Our students don’t follow a cohort model. We work with our applicants to make sure that they are prepared for success in the MBA and beyond.ĭo students work as a cohort or in another way? But that is just the average – many students have a much different mix of GPA and experience. A typical incoming student has a 3.4 GPA. Our average student has 8 years professional work experience. But many of our students start their MBA careers with us soon after they complete their undergraduate degrees as traditional students. Our recently admitted MBA students are both traditional learners and working adults from a variety of backgrounds and career paths.
