UIU is a great school with excellent faculty. With the exception of one teacher, who turns out was in his mentor phase, every teacher was excellent. The administration is very responsive and wiling to help. You can spend about 1 hour a night per class and meet the requirements. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to get an online MBA.
