Very impressed with MBA-IT Management degree

October 11, 2011Jon I'm a few months out from graduating with an MBA with a concentration in IT management, and let me say that I am very pleased with this. I spent about 6 months on deciding which school to attend and I'm glad I made Capella my choice. The IT management at my company is very pleased as well. This is uncharted territory for them (online education), so naturally they are very interested in what I am doing. They go over each one of my classes with a fine tooth comb and are very impressed at the quality of work that I'm involved with, so that gives me the satisfaction of knowing that I made the right choice. The classes are tough (as they should be), but if this is really what you want to do, then you'll be fine. I recommend this degree and this school to anyone who wants a challenge, and a backing of knowing that I'll have a quality education from a well accredited school.

MBA-IT Management degree
