School-Life Balance
The W. P. Carey MBA – Online Program is designed to support your busy lifestyle. To be successful in the program, you must be able to balance the demands of your online MBA coursework with the other commitments in your life.
The following questionnaire will help you determine how well you are prepared to pursue your MBA in the online format:
Compare yourself with these statements to determine if online learning is a good match for you. If a majority of the statements fit you, you're probably ready for online learning.
- I have excellent organizational skills.
- I am a very self-directed learner.
- I tend to get things done ahead of time rather than waiting until the last minute.
- I can figure out written instructions very well on my own.
- I like learning about new technologies; they don't intimidate me.
- I am a very comfortable and skilled reader.
- I like engaging in written communication.
- I can find at least 15 to 20 hours a week to devote to the program.
- Coming to campus for class is very difficult because of location, current time commitments or lack of transportation.
- My need for taking this online degree program is very high.
- If I don't take it now, I will not be able to take it later.
