Does the MBA Program grant course credit for life or work experience?
No, and there are a number of good reasons why. (Also see But there must be some way I can prove to you I really know what needs to be known in this subject so I don’t have to take the course?) 1) There is no good way to determine whether the student knows the fundamentals of the subject matter because we have no way to determine who “educated” the student. 2) The student will never know what s/he doesn’t know unless s/he takes the course. 3) There is no way to determine whether the student has 15 years of useful experience or one year of bad experience repeated 15 times. 4) We are an educational institution that strives to graduate students beyond their current abilities – there is no course in our MBA program that a student could not benefit from because, if you “confess” your experience, the professor will make sure you will learn beyond your current abilities.
