Quantic’s MBA Accredited
School of Business and Technology Executive Master of Business Administration (MBA)
I’m in my 28th week, more than half way, toward the Executive MBA at Quantic School of Business and Technology. In a couple of weeks, I’ll join my fellow students in Copenhagen Denmark for a second conference.
When I started this journey, it’s name was Smartly and it was unaccredited. Today it’s Quantic ... and accredited. So the MBA I earn will be the same as everyone else’s. But I don’t really care (well I care lots actually). Some people gave me sass because the program was not accredited. Whatever!
In Nevada I’ve seen lawyers, dentists, and now physicians educated at yet-to-be accredited programs. The only thing missing is the brand recognition. But how cool is it to build that? Ironically, I never sought the MBA degree, but I was looking for something to study, really for pleasure (I am a nerd). Online Distance education made the most sense because of my schedule and running my own company. My experience with another program left me sad. It required loads of reading and barfing. There was no connection to the material or the experience. Then some analytics connected me to Smartly.
From application, acceptance, to accreditation, I’ve found my Quantic study surprising at every turn. The curriculum is brilliantly delivered via an app. It’s also hard! An accounting group project via slack with people I’ve never met before - was hard (we aced it though).
So far we’ve studied, Accounting 🧾 Statistics - Economics, ... Wait, that’s a boat load of math! Math with symbols and stuff. Yikes. I never thought I’d learn any of that stuff.
I find relevance in everything we study. My business skills help me become literate on a whole new level with my work. I have so many more ways to analyze stuff. And I even went to DC for a conference to see if the network was real.
Surprised again, I found MY people. Smart mid-career professionals looking for “something” but not sure what - something that will increase options in the future. During the conference the number of times I said, “Me too!” was shocking.
They told us how selective they were choosing the cohorts. They clued is in that their algorithm knows how we’re doing. Only a little scary - but that’s modern life man. Their rationale - to sustain quality in an innovative delivery method, they needed students to complete and go on and do good stuff.
Quantics method was valuable when I took the free foundations course. The price was right even if I didn’t get an award.
At this point in my life and career, I don’t NEED the degree, I’m more interested in the knowledge, skill, and experience. Accreditation is a bonus. But I’m very proud to be part of Quantic. I’m up to the challenge to go and do good stuff- carry a good name. I know how hard they worked for this designation - and from what I can tell of the rigors of this program - well deserved.
I’ll be happy to show off my fully accredited MBA in August. Boo yah 💥
