Online schooling is not for the faint of heart, especially not an accelerated program. You really get what you put into it. Some of the teachers are great, and some are flops. By taking on the 15-month program I tasked myself with 3 classes every 6 weeks. Each week I had to complete 1 Discussion Forum, 2 responses to classmates' forum discussions, and an individual or group project. When you multiply that by 3 and add a husband and kids into the mix, it makes for some very late nights. However, it is completely doable. I am graduating with around a 3.6 GPA.
I must say though the biggest downfall for this program is that it is EXPENSIVE! It is going to take me some time to pay back my school loans.
However, I really love that this program takes all previous schooling into account, and that the Associate's Degree I earned at LCB Austin allowed me to partake in the Bachelor's program. I also loved that the CAPSTONE Course replaces an internship for this program (an internship would be difficult with online schooling). The CAPSTONE Course is a six week course in which you use everything you have learned over the past year to create a working business plan. That is a 20-30 page document, for those of you who do not know. While that seems like a daunting task, it really wasn't. I had a fabulous professor, and each week we worked on a portion of the final assignment. Listening to the online chats was a definite must for this course because he walked us through the ins and outs of each section. I am now armed with a business plan for a business I actually want to pursue, and a plethora of business knowledge.
The Le Cordon Bleu Online Bachelor's Degree Program has been an amazing experience, and I am so excited for what furthering my education will help me to accomplish. Thank you, Le Cordon Bleu.
