"My EMBA experience at Lansbridge University has changed my business outlook and has helped me develop the core skills for managing the construction business I am involved in.

I have benefited both professionally and personally. The learning environment at the University was very positive and the staff, strong lecturer support, course flexibility and participative class made the experience very valuable indeed.

The program is designed with several modules to cater to the needs of professionals while earning and to meet the changing demands of the business world.

Although I had to wake up sometimes at 3:00 am Saudi Arabian local time to attend lectures... The hard work was worth it and I would recommend for those individuals striving for excellence in their careers to enroll in the eMBA program offered by Lansbridge University."

"As I considered my MBA options at a time my career path could take me across Canada (and did), it made sense to take a flexible MBA on my time that could be completed anywhere. An on-line degree was the answer. The next task was to find an appropriate university. After narrowing it down to accredited, on-line universities only, cost was considered to get an overall understanding of the MBA value. The strong value of a Lansbridge U MBA was what tipped the scales. After completing the MBA I can say that I made the right decision having dealt with a fully engaged and talented faculty as well as classmates from around the world. I am better positioned now to continue driving my career ahead as a result of completing my Lansbridge U MBA."

"I started my MBA program at Lansbridge in August 2005, my first experience at distance learning, because the travel needed in my employment prevented me from completing the MBA program I had started at a conventional university. I found the quality of the Lansbridge MBA program as good as, and in many ways better than, the conventional on campus program I left. The professors are knowledgeable and demanding, but fair, cooperative, thorough and focused on the students getting the benefits of the lessons.

A particular advantage has been that I have the flexibility to fit my study and class attendance into a work and travel schedule that has included extended periods in Kosovo, Sudan and Afghanistan plus Canada's north. Virtual classes with the professors are very interactive and the facility provided by that same classroom for group meetings is more effective than that provided by on-campus meeting areas. The personal, friendly and efficient support by the learning assistants and university administrative staff has been outstanding. I have always felt that they enjoyed helping students and took pride in finding ways to solve problems. On a number of occasions the Learning Assistants went far out of their ways to ensure I received course reference material and even exams so that my course would not be interrupted. That included sending the hard copy of an exam to me as I passed through JFK in New York, so I could do the exam on the flight overseas.

With an MSc in engineering and experience in government and industry in Canada and internationally, I needed to augment my finance and accounting knowledge and gain better business understanding to achieve my goals. I have found the knowledge I gained in the Lansbridge MBA program has helped me considerably in this regard and I continue to benefit from this learning. I recommend the Lansbridge program without reservation to anyone who has the appetite and ambition to excel in this business environment, even if they have the option of an on-campus program."

"Managing one's time while taking the MBA program can at times be very challenging, but it is possible to balance family, work and school. The Lansbridge University program structure and course tools, with the right amount of discipline, have allowed me to meet my work and school obligations, without having to put life on hold while taking the program. When I began to research for a Graduate Program, there were many options available. The vast majority of these options were from reputable schools with great reputations. However, none of them offered me the flexibility, convenience, and cost savings that Lansbridge did. Then I thought, maybe I would be compromising my education. The answer to that is a resounding NO!! Imagine having a professor who launched the famous Tic Tac breath mint. Imagine having a professor who is an experienced Certified Public Accountant. Imagine having a professor who was an integral part of the Dot Com boom. Ladies and Gentlemen, Lansbridge offers the best balance in education and cost savings bar none."

Sam Musa, Project Manager/Sr. Business Analyst

David Gray

"After changing cities for the third time in two years, I had taken MBA courses at two different brick and mortar universities. Some courses were good, many were not. Some profs were good, some were awful. When I enrolled at Lansbridge for my eMBA/Masters in Management I was impressed that the instructors were highly qualified professionals, often still working in their field of expertise. I also found that the virtual classroom was the most productive group work environment that I had ever experienced. It is my model for e-collaboration. I had scored 690 on the GMAT and could have gone to any university. I am happy that I went to Lansbridge."

"A smart way for busy professionals to earn a quality education with seasoned faculty. Lansbridge has provided me with a superior professional development experience."

Kevin Tucker

"Living in Ottawa and having 2 Universities and a College nearby would make it seem obvious to some that the choice would be to do my schooling locally. I chose Lansbridge and I'm very happy with my choice. I wanted a program that would enhance my education without throwing my life upside down and that goal was certainly accomplished. Although the program was very challenging, I was able to do my studies online and my classes were during non-core hours in the evening so that it did not impact my job. While in the program, I met a lot of great people from all over the world [this was so important because I work internationally]. I also found that the material and the group work were very relevant to my job....so I was able to apply it to real life situations right away. Working online is much different than working in a classroom so you should expect it to be different and organize yourself for success.

My preference is to do all my studies online and I highly recommend the Lansbridge experience for anybody looking to expand their horizons.

ps - I also had some fabulous professors who were both knowledgeable and helpful."

"When I decided to advance my career with the graduate degree, Lansbridge University was the obvious choice. Lansbridge's eMBA and MM programs delivered outstanding value and a substantial return on my investment. The most attractive part of Lansbridge University's eMBA and MM programs is that they maintain a very high level of standard while keeping their flexibility. My two graduate degrees have been a key contributor to my career successes. They also provided me with the opportunity to learn updated business practices and core business skills in a competitive environment. The well structured curriculum coupled with the cutting edge technology and teaching of fundamental business practices, not only provided me with the necessary skills and understanding to successfully advance in my career; but also helped me to greatly enhance my self confidence and enabled me to grow both professionally and personally. Having Lansbridge eMBA and MM degrees enhanced my career potential and increased my earning power, while the flexible schedule minimized my opportunity cost. I highly recommend Lansbridge University graduate programs."

"I am a recent graduate (December , 2007) of the MBA Program at Lansbridge. In September 2004 I enrolled into the MBA Program, which was one of the best educational decisions I had made. Online learning really facilitated using a team learning approach. I was able to collaborate with students from other areas of the country as well as afar. A special thank - you to the Administration, the Professors and the collaboration of fellow students that provided so much support."
