For the most part, my MBA classes weren't so bad. If you could rock PowerPoint presentations and didn't mind speaking in front of the whole class, the whole program was your oyster. Sure, there were lots of group projects, but basically it came down to "okay, Bob, you do slides 1-9 about ABC, I'll do slides 10-15 about DEF, and Jill does slides 16-21 about GHI and we should be gold." Bam. And usually when you do a Master's program, everyone is serious about doing well. The slackers and loafers usually aren't the kinds of people out to get graduate degrees in the first place.

The fact my university didn't require a thesis was a MAJOR selling point for me going there. Sure, they had an assessment thingy to make up for it, but that wasn't so bad and my group aced that thing without too much of an issue. Even though we had to present in front of a review panel, by the time we got to that point, we were so used to presentations that it was honesty pretty easy-cheesy.

Having Photoshop skill and being able to make PowerPoints look a little extra pretty and professional helped a lot with these. ;3
