There are some very good professors and others that are just cookie cutter and just doing it for the extra money. More proctor like than educators at times. Not a big fan of the forced online interactions between students. Each week there was a group discussion in most classes where you are forced to reply to at least two students. It's not engaging, and obvious everyone is only doing it b/c they have to. The due dates for assignments had a good rhythm to it. Usually had three due dates each week...

I have been very pleased with the education I received from Southern Nazarene University. The professors were very personable. I love the opportunity to have one class at a time, and the fast track classes. The work load is manageable for a full time employee. I love attending class one night a week, and having my books before me in every class, without having the bother of purchasing book. I love the fact that Southern Nazarene supplies every student with a computer at the beginning of the program,... Read More and maintains any maintenance needed while in the program. The staff is very friendly and a wonderful Christian atmosphere. I am looking forward to starting my MBA at Southern Nazarene University.

Southern Nazarene University welcomed me with open arms and made learning enjoyable, manageable, and something I actually found myself looking forward to every week. The instructors associated with this school are not only brilliant and relatable, they are also completely accepting of the many different ethnicities and types of faith the students bring to the table. It was a pleasure attending SNU and I would recommend anybody looking for a positive and encouraging "family" to follow by your side...

This is an excellent program and I believe that it far exceeds those offered by other educational institutions in preparing students for their field. Pros: One class at a time for the majority of the program; accelerated program means less time without a degree; all books are supplied; the faculty is excellent and material learned is related to real-world experiences; and small cohorts mean individual attention from faculty and increased support from peers. Cons: higher cost than other educational... Read More institutions and accelerated nature of the program requires independent learning that may not be ideal for some students.

The pros of the program is that the material provided is relevant to an MBA. The program is logically put together in that each subject refers back to previous subjects. The program is set when the student signs up! He or she does not have to continually apply classes evry summester. This is also true with the books and material. All those are waiting in class when the student arrives. The cons are that, because the program is designed as a short program, thre is not more time to learn some of the... Read More subjects.

Pros of the Graduate program are the relevance of the curriculum to current situations I encounter in business today. This has been true from the first class until now and I am only half way through the program. Another pro for the program is the reputation that SNU has in the community. A con for the program is the speed required to complete the degree. More time in each course would allow for more practical application in class. Overall, there really is no way to make the course better because... Read More the degree cannot take much longer. It is up to the individual to gain all that is necessary to learn everything that is required. The curriculum is adequate enough to allow that.

Pros: The high degree of support from the staff and from the faculty. The structure of the program's curriculum is conducive to maintaining full time employment. Cons: I personally hate the idea of being assigned to a cohort group.. if you are like me and are able to handle an accelerated, independent academic pace, being assigned to a cohort group kind will likely hinder you. There is no opportunity to get ahead of the pack/finish sooner. Also, the cost of the university is very high. It is understandable,... Read More as it is a private university.. however, there are not really any scholarship opportunities (that I was informed of upon asking my financial aid advisor) for graduate students from the school. You are kind of left to your own devices when it comes to what loans won't cover.
