University of Fredericton is the ideal place for affordable MBA. The professors do an amazing job of giving students a great experience. The clases are very rigorous but so worth it. I definitely recommend Ufred MBA program for anyone working full-time and still able to study 100% online

The views of this statement are from the eyes of a potential student: This University's Pre-MBA program experience has been one of the WORST experiences I have ever encountered through my long education process. I have attended numerous Universities in Canada and currently one in the USA as well. When I applied to the MBA program, I had to do the 3 Pre-MBA courses at my own pace. I completed the Economics with good feedback from the professor. When I did the Business Communications course with Erin Bowlen, it was the most horrible experience I have had. I had completed an editing assignment, with corrections shown through word, only for her to mark them "not done" when word showed they were done. I communicated this to her, with no re-evaluation or caring. I had to appeal my grade since I was 2-3 marks low on getting a B-. If the editing assignment was marked properly I would have got the B-. No where in the University policy does it show you need a "B" or a "B-". After appealing my grade it took them 1 month according to the policy for them to ask me to re-do my paper on Business Communication in my field at work. I was given under a week to complete this, when this could have been done a month ago. I asked for someone else to review my 2 assignments and they would not do it. I would not recommend this University to anyone. If you have to do the Business Communication Pre-MBA course, make sure you pay extra money out of your pocket to hire someone to proof read your work so Erin Bowlen does not fail you. In my personal opinion, I do not believe she is qualified to teach a Communication course, if she can not listen to students when they are trying to justify what they did right. In my eyes she tries to fail students purposely so she can make a name for herself so she can get an actual credit course teaching assignment. After fighting for a pass on a pre-mba course so I can continue in my education, and let the marks on the first 2 courses decide if I should be there (since it is my money I am wasting) I have wasted my time. I got accepted into 2 other Universities for my MBA and they had no issues with my work.

Challenging courses and experienced professors.

Stay away! The only thing more antiquated than their courses is their registration process. I should have trusted my first instinct when I tried to register for my first course of a diploma program. The whole experience was painful from the initial intake form, which lead to being transferred to an academic advisor, to the accounting department. It took over 14 emails to register for an online course. After registering I learned I was expected to do an online learning course (instructor lead) prior to the course date, which wasn't a big deal if I wasn't already out of the country and thousands of miles away from a reliable internet connection. For some reason the online course was designed with hard timelines and was inflexible. Another dozen emails to the academic advisor it was advised to take a fail, as it was a non credit course (the whole program is non-credit). The whole experience only continued to get worse. My advice is if you're interested in completing a program online, select an institution that is capable of posting course offerings with dates, and can process online registration.
