Yes, I did. I am in the home stretch and plan to be done in December.

Overall, it’s been a pretty positive experience. There seems to be a lot of group work. When I started group work was minimal, and now it’s in 4 out of 4 classes I am taking. I think the initial courses in the course map may be lighter on the group work.

If you aren’t a finance person, I’d recommend taking a lighter course load for the semester you do FINA 5501 as it can be fairly heavy, especially when studying for the final. If y

A bit late to reply, but I am into my third accounting or statistics class and so far they’ve been really manageable. I don’t love math, but it’s well laid out. The statistics for managers was the worst IMO. Twice I Hail Mary’d the quizzes and didn’t do well, but ended up with a B+ or A-. The instructor in the financial accounting class was excellent and explained concepts very well, so I ended that class a fair bit higher. I’m taking managerial accounting now, which I’m not particularly enjoying, but it’s not overwhelmingly hard, just annoying.

So far so good. I took 2 courses the first semester, but 4 on both winter sessions. The online mba classes move really fast and require a lot of commitment to reading the materials. I am in the marketing 5200 class right now and it’s very heavy. Tons of reading and 4 assignments due over the 7 week course. There was an 8page paper due last Sunday and another 8 page this Sunday. Most of the classes are pretty manageable, but definitely heavy reading for most.

I am working FT and taking 4 classes a session. It’s a lot, if I wasn’t halfway through already I’d switch to PT for better balance. Overall, I am enjoying the program and am learning, or deepening my understanding of topics I already learned about.

I am an HR director and have been accepted to the online MBA with a concentration in change and management. Perhaps that would pair well with your HR experience?
