To Our Prospective Students:

In any element of business, we all face competition. How you handle it often defines subsequent success or failure. It is with this mindset that I ask you to consider the role Colorado State University’s MBA Program might play in your life.

There is a lot to consider when planning an educational endeavor such as an MBA program. The checklist many of us have in our minds is familiar:

• What will an MBA degree do for me personally and professionally?
• Will the degree give me a competitive advantage in the workplace, or help propel me into a new field or career?
• Will I be able to meet the sacrifices required, and will they be worthwhile in the end?

You undoubtedly have already surveyed the highly competitive environment of graduate business degree offerings available from a wide variety of institutions. Whether it is a private, public and for-profit institution MBA program, the goal is always the same: Find a program that gives you the edge needed to excel in your course work and beyond.

Sorting through the maze of seemingly nebulous terms like online, distance, professional, traditional, blended, campus-based, and executive – it’s all a part of the process. Confusion can reign alongside your desire to engage in a program that works for you and your life circumstances.

In the end, you want and need a quality curriculum that will help you reach your goals. At CSU, you’ll find students very much like you already enrolled in our programs – students who ask the tough questions and seek the answers to be successful.

We know there is a certain degree of trust you place in any school you choose to provide you with the knowledge you need. We sincerely believe that you have come to the right place. We believe this because we have an unparalleled record of success providing AACSB-accredited MBA degrees through distance delivery methods for more than 40 years, decades before other institutions.

With this experience, and a group of faculty and staff that we trust to be some of the best around, we think you will find our programs to be engaging, challenging and compelling. I urge you to explore our site in more detail and contact our team with any questions you may have about the MBA programs at Colorado State University.

Sincerely,

John Weiss

Director, MBA Programs
