Rushmore University

I completed my MBA in two years; the quality of the faculty is high and I never had such a support in the past on my University in Rotterdam (Holland)

Rushmore University has allowed me to work directly with very talented professors. I have been pleasantly suprised by the quality of my educational experience, so far. I was happy tp see that Rushmore has achieved accreditation from the Chartered Management Institute for various courses including it's CMI accredited MBA.

This university granted a MBA to a person I know isn't even a high school graduate. She didn't graduate from any college or university but just indicated that she did on-line because she assumed they would not check. They didn't.

I studied for an MBA degree, which I completed after just about 11 months. The work involved is not hard, provided you have some academic experience. It is pure essay writing, which in itself is perhaps not a disadvantage to written exams (contents of which we all forget very quickly afterwards). However, there is no inter-human skill taught here, as you work only via email with your professor, and there is no alumni for the same reason. I also found disappointing that some professors were clearly marketing their own books (which in case of one professor, was really not an academic work at all). The actual diploma was printed upside down, which meant I cannot show it to any serious employer. Finally, I took my Rushmore MBA off my CV, to not look ridiculous with it. However, the Rushmore experience does teach you discipline. It is not easy to sit down after a days work and work on your next essay. This lesson in discipline still serves me today. Also to think for yourself, rather than be a sheep like most academics. Some professors are clearly in it for their own ego and to market their books (Donald Mitchell, this is for you). Others are there to share their wisdom and you would never have met them otherwise. I strongly suggest that if you pursue any course here that you interview your professors and only work with them if you feel completely comfortable with them. I do not regret having done this, but it was a waste of time and money, in my opinion.
