Keller Graduate School of Management
5
The course content is going to be the same regardless whether you go to Harvard/Yale or Keller. Financial Accounting is still financial accounting and LOB will still be LOB. An AACSB-certified school may get you better instruction in these courses, or then again it may not; it's a roulette game. Anyone who has already completed an undergraduate degree should already have mastered their study skills and require minimal interaction with an instructor for continuing education at the post-graduate level. When I am hiring employees, I give bonus points to candidates who have completed online degrees or partially online degrees as it shows motivation, self-direction, and tenacity; attributes I like to see in my employees. I couldn't give a flying you-know-what as far as whether a candidate's school has this or that certfication; I am looking for employees who can give me results. In light of recent hires over the last 3-5 years, I am starting to give candidates with Keller degrees strong preference over candidates from "reputable" brick-and-mortar schools. Many of the Harvard/Yale-type graduates have turned out to be some of the laziest SOBs I have ever hired, whereas I have hired several driven Keller graduates who have been outstanding employees. The grads from the traditional reputable schools have seemed to have a sense of "entitlement" that seems to make them lazy, whereas the grads from Keller and other online schools seem to work much harder for me. *** Online degrees for an online world *** Keller: Whatever you are doing, keep it up. My Keller-hires have turned out to be some of my best quality employees.
