DeSales University - PA Review

DeSales University offers an MBA that consists of foundation, core and concentration courses. Depending upon your undergraduate degree and grades, you may be required to take all or a few of the foundation courses. Everyone takes the same ten core courses and each is left to determine their own concentration courses which amount to four or five depending upon the concentration.

I have taken classes online and in the Center Valley, Easton and Doylestown campuses. They have a Lansdale campus also that is very popular. The flexibility of the class offerings combined with professors and campuses makes for a great opportunity to readily get the class you need and with the professor you want if you ware willing to travel or go online. Although some courses, like staying away from Jonathon Mattas for Business and Society, are worth traveling the distance or waiting for an offering with Dr. William Roth.

They have this special classroom at Center Valley for distance learning with Easton or Lansdale campuses. The concept is good, but for the classes to run smoothly and for effective learning they need to reinvest in this learning tool. It causes too much havoc for the professor and students vollying back and forth each week.

Their semesters run seasonally all but summer lasting 12 weeks. Summer lasts six weeks and one should be very picky in what, if any, course they take during that time because you meet twice a week for 3.5 hours for class. There is usually no adjustment to the expectations of the course so definitely do not take Jon Mattas Business and Society in the summer. This course and professor are to learning what the Boston Marathon is to a sprint around the park.

All in all, I am proud to be enrolled to take my last course at DeSales University this winter semester.
