Hi,
I'm looking for up-to-date opinions regarding the reputation or general
acceptance of MBA programs at Royal Roads University in Victoria, BC,
Canada. Alumni responses would be of great benefit.
Thanks
Nathan

I am in the middle of applying and entering their Masters in Communications
program. They have a very good reputation as they are a publically funded
and accredited university that is moving fast to becoming a well respected
school.

Thanks Freddie,
If you don't mind me asking, what schools did you look at and why did
you make the choice of Royal Roads?
Some of my own considerations: I live in the greater Victoria area
and, therefore, was not scared off by their residency requirements.
The price seems rather steep, especially since UVic offers in-class
instruction for ~$28000 (as opposed to RR's $33000). I understand that
RR is gaining a really good reputation for their executive training
courses (outside of MBA studies). Not bad for such a new university.
Thanks
Nathan

You could do worse - you could spend like $70,000 on Queen's
University's dumbed-down MBA so Royal Roads dumbed-down MBA seems like
a bargain. Many dumbed-down MBAs from good American schools can be had
for under $12,000US and a dumbed-down MBA from a cheap unknown but
accredited school for $5,000US.

I do have a dumbed down distance MBA. It is about half the program of
my 2nd degree 20 required course Bachelor of Commerce.

When I did my brick and mortar schooling 20-30 years ago an MBA was a
20 course program with intro courses in all fields and a major. Now
many of them are 10-12 intro courses often lacking at least 2 real
accounting courses and multiple math and stats. The MBA was an
academic step toward a doctorate, not a business right of passage.

I am sure that any schools that have a 2 year MBA or have a 15-16
course MBA with undergrad pre-requisites are not dumbed down.

For reputation, I think Royal Roads is good perhaps a carryover from
its previous incarnation as a federal military college.

Before making ANY choice of course one needs to check with Great State
of Oregon. Oregon is in charge of educational approvals for the entire
world with their cutting edge "information" systems gleaning data from
anonymous sources, and tips from chat rooms - also from physics
professors (or is that psychic professors), so you can't get much more
reliable data than that, now can you? Or drop by degreeinfo owned and
run by coffee enema salesman Chip White, which of course makes them all
very alert education gurus. Good luck!

Full time MBA programs can search online and you can go online to know about the repudiated universities that can have good placement record.
