I am very happy to have graduated from CSU with my MBA. Education is what you vision it be for yourself. I have returned to CSU for my DBA recently. I can say from experience that I'm happy to have returned to CSU for another learning experience. CSU is a well rounded university for not only the working adult but also for anyone who desires an affordable education. CSU is no diploma mill. Whoever believes and says otherwise should do more research on accreditation standards for national and regional...

After receiving my MBA from a local college I choose to pursue my DBA with Columbia Southern University. The dissertation process was horrible. There was only one DBA chair and the one time I spoke to him on the phone I heard about how he saved the university $100K by being the only chair. He also spoke about his much younger girlfriend and his two sons . Like other reviewers I had the same issue with moving onto the next step in the dissertation process and had to repeat classes (which I was personally... Read More paying by this time). I would turn in my work and was told one item needed to be changed. I would change it, turn the work in again, and then was told another item was wrong. This happened over and over and over. I was never told all of the items that needed to be corrected, I was told one item at a time. I finally ran out of money to continue this and had to quit school. I registered a complaint with the president and laid out everything that had happened. He responded but there was nothing of substance in his response.

I completed my MBA at CSU and then decided to continue with the DBA program. The MBA was of value, but the DBA is not. I found that the set courses were fairly straightforward to get through, however the support and expertise at the dissertation stage was abysmal. Extremely poor feedback and I came away with the view that the professors are purely academics with no real world business experience. They have no idea about the real issues facing modern business, and instead look to slow one's progress... Read More as much as possible to keep you repeating courses - which of course you have to pay a new fee each time. I showed my work to experts outside of CSU and they were astonished at the obvious lack of business sense by the professors. You may think that the course is cost effective, but you haven't taken into account the multiple times they will make you repeat the dissertation phase courses. At that point you are so invested in finishing (80% through) that you won't stop paying. I paid well over 10k more than they advertised. Don't do the DBA.
