Online MBA

University of the Sunshine Coast

Queensland, Australia

Study an MBA Online.Anywhere.Anytime!

Would it be advantageous if you could increase your business knowledge with an MBA? Do you, like most other people looking to get ahead, work long hours an find it impossible to physically attend lectures without taking time away from important work commitments?

With the University of the Sunshine Coast's innovative online MBA, you can study at your own pace with one of Australia's most flexible postgrauate courses. The University of the Sunshine Coast's MBA provides several distinct advantages over other programs, namely the flexibility offered by online delivery, the benefits of online student interaction, one of the highest ratios of PhD qualified staff in the country, and technical support features such as CD-ROM. USC's MBA was first offered in 1997, and is the first fully online MBA in Australia.

Offering an MBA online we believe is an innovative and forward thinking approach to postgraduate business study. Online delivery provides unsurpassable flexibility, allowing you to:

* continue work without negatively affecting your study regime and vice versa;

* not worry about lecture schedules with set timetables;

* make more effective use of time that would otherwise be wasted in travelling to and from lectures;

* study from home making the most out of already limited family time; and

* adjust your study timetable in a flexible manner to accommodate ever-changing work schedules.

In addition, our advanced online course management program delivers interactive coursework as well as providing strong interaction between lecturers and other students. Students find they even have a higher level of interaction with their lecturer and other students than they would in a face-to-face environment, as communication can occur on a daily basis.

We also provide students with a CD-ROM, which allow them:

* to travel with a laptop computer and still have access to coursework;

* to have quicker access to large auio and video files; and

* a back up in the event of any Internet connectivity problems.
