  • 1.  MS in OD/OB

    Hello Everyone,
    A friend has asked me if I know of a Masters program in OD or OB that suits his needs, which in his words are:
     
    "My most preferred choice is however a program which takes place say for 1 or 2 weeks in each quarter, then we go back work on real life assignments and submit them and have reading materials etc which prepare us for the next time we meet. Or something of this sort if you know what I mean. I think this is called a 'modular' format."
     
    As I understand, this guy wants to do the Masters program while working full time. I think he can only afford to visit for a couple of weeks every semester. If anyone is aware of a good Graduate program, which is not a 100% online program, but a mix of distance and traditional on-campus learning, please let me know at usmanraja@gmail.com. 
     
    Cheers

    The business school at BGSU has an executive MOD program that meets a couple of full weekends over each semester. The remainder is done online.

    The Fuqua School of Business has an MBA program (the Cross-Continent MBA program) structured using this format (i.e., 8 "quarters" with a 1-2 week residency period each quarter where students are all together in one location, although that location varies across the program, followed by another 6 weeks of distance learning where students return home to their careers).  I recognize that an MBA may not completely fit with your friend's interest, but I mention the program just in case.
