    For online courses, CCU has partnered with Pearson eCollege, a world leader in electronic education, to deliver MBA classes that blend the latest in eLearning technology with the latest business theory and practice. Students attend classes electronically, do research using the Internet, exchange e-mail, and participate in online discussions. Even assignments and tests are submitted online. Weekly assignments are required, but the course design generally allows participants to complete coursework at the times and places that work best for them prior to scheduled deadlines.
     
  3. How is the online format different from a traditional classroom-based format?
    All of the thirteen required courses for the MBA program are available in an online format. In seven-week blocks, participants use online tools (e.g., the Internet, eCollege, online threaded discussions, e-mail, document sharing, the grade book, online presentations, etc.) to share from their experiences, work together to solve assigned problems, compare solutions for business case studies, and learn from the facilitating instructor and each other. For the general MBA program with leadership as its focus, the international course is a study-travel event that places students for a little over one of its seven weeks in a major foreign city and country. In short, the experience is a rigorous, high-quality Master of Business Administration degree program, delivered in an accessible, convenient format available to students all over the world.
