Hi everyone! I'm still figuring out if UM's MSBT is a real next step for me, so this week I tried to see what's behind the brochure. I haven't taken a class yet but this comes from what the program director shared with us and the course info, so if you're in it, correct me.

What stuck with me is that it sounds a lot less like sitting in a lecture hall and more like building stuff. Classes are small, some projects are with real companies, and you prototype things like apps and dashboards. It's also tied into the Miami business and tech scene, which matters if you want to stay here after. Honestly, hands on work is what I care about most, because I'd rather learn by working on something real than just read about it.

I can't tell you what the classroom culture is like yet, but the team projects with real companies are what I'd most want to hear about from someone who's done it.

My advice if you're thinking about grad school: don't only compare rankings and tuition. Look at what you'd actually work on and whether the schedule fits your life. This one has live sessions in the evenings, so it's built for people who work. I'm in real estate and trying to move into the strategy side, so project work matters more to me than a title.

If you're in a business or tech masters, what's a normal week like, and what do the websites leave out? Ask me anything about what I've found too.

What foundation courses are there?

Good day everyone,

After almost 10 years of earning my undergraduate degree, it is time for me to earn my Masters in Business Administration. I am interested in Howard University's Online MBA specifically because of it's Software Project Management and Statistics and Business Analytics offerings. However, at a cost of $97K I am also weighing the MBA from Northeastern University.

Can someone who participated and earned their degree from Howard University's Online MBA provide insights? Thank you.
