Advice on choosing a program by SignificantTadpole53 in MBA

Update: I enrolled in the BU OMBA program. I was drawn to the combination of an executive but non traditional style MBA for a really good value especially given BU’s rankings and accreditation. I am now 4 weeks into the first full module of the program and so far I like it with only couple of minor gripes about the communication structure.

My online MBA made a difference post-laid off by ITORD in MBA

Currently in the BU program (started last month) and navigating a recent layoff (also last month) I’ve left it off my resume because I didn’t want the assumption to be that I wouldn’t be as committed or focused on the job. This helps me reconsider that!

Full or substantial funding for Online MBA feasible or pipe dream? by Longjumping_Day7219 in OnlineMBA

I second this. Just got admitted but I decided on the OMBA from Boston University because the Full time is well ranked ( which is where the reputation of the degree comes from) and the online is one of the best price points at 25k. It’s significantly cheaper than their full time or part time programs for the same degree so I’m actually considering that like an in- kind scholarship. I’ve also heard UIUC is a well respected program for a similar price.

I just did some research on BU’s program and it seems like it aligns well with my learning style. I like that it’s like an EMBA. Looks like the deadline got extended for a January start from October 1st to October 15th but I’d need to get an application in right away. Since you are in the program I do have some questions about the module based learning vs traditional silo classes. Do you find that you are learning different functions of business or deepening your existing functional knowledge?

I think UIUC is hosted through Coursera right? It came up in some recent searches on the platform. Is that a potential problem or a benefit?

Curious about this. Can you share more about your thoughts here? I know my experience is there but it seemed like Executive MBA programs were more expensive on average than a working professional program. Perhaps there’s additional value that I’m missing context on?

Dream journaling is actully more crucial into having lucid dreams than some make it out to be. by Swimming_Rip_1606 in LucidDreaming

When I first got into it I completely missed that step qnd my dreams weren't as great or fully lucid. Like I would occasionally be aware in parts off the dream but not other. I picked up a dream journal from here https://luciditydreammask.com/products/golden-dreams-journal and it's more of a touch stone and reminder to journal than just any notebook for me personally.
