The University of Nebraska at Lincoln's Online MBA program holds applicants to competitive expectations—two years of management/leadership experience, a 600 GMAT score, and a 3.0 undergraduate GPA are highly recommended—but students who make the cut are rewarded with an "internationally recognized" program that strikes "the perfect balance of reputation, curriculum quality, flexibility . . . and price." Students in this 100 percent online program may choose one of five academic concentrations (in business analytics, supply chain management, international business, finance, or marketing), and many name "the specialty in business data analytics" as a huge draw. Likewise, students praise the "well-rounded" curriculum with "many elective courses" all "structured into 8-week semesters [which] makes it easy to focus on one course at a time while working full-time." The "tremendously helpful" yet "challenging" professors are also "very accessible." "All the professors use the online setting in their own unique way with different forms of student collaboration and interaction" aided by technology like TechSmith Relay for interactive lecture videos, frequent live online instruction sessions, and a shared repository for storing course files. Group projects are "engaging" as fellow students "come from a huge variety of educational and professional backgrounds," which "makes collaboration very exciting." These "driven, performance-oriented" student have backgrounds in "construction, manufacturing, tech, medical, and consulting" and "quite a few [are] doctors and engineers looking to improve [their] business acumen." Overall, the "the academic rigor is very high" while the workload is "significant but not overwhelming." Students appreciate that their "professors and UNL understand the challenges facing the students and have done a wonderful job of molding their program to fit the needs of the students."
