Description of Learning Environment for Students:
Distance MBA Program
The MBA courses through the College of Business are taught by tenure-track Ph.D. faculty. Those who teach in the MBA programs are some of the best in the College of Business and most have extensive business experience in addition to their academic achievements. Group sections for the distance MBA students are facilitated by highly qualified adjunct faculty who have extensive experience in their specific areas of expertise.
Distance MBA Program students communicate with their professors, other students and team members through a sophisticated communications application. Using threaded discussions or the chat room, distance students are connected to the campus and all its support services.

Description of Learning Environment for Students:
Distance MBA Program
- Course content is delivered using mixed-media DVD technology allowing anywhere viewing. Each session of the on-campus MBA classes are taped, burned onto the DVDs and mailed out the next morning to distance MBA students around the world. The student receives the full lecture, class discussions, student questions and copies of the PowerPoints®. As much as possible, the entire classroom environment is delivered to each distance MBA student around the world.
- Distance students enjoy an inclusive environment. The distance student follows the same group of on-campus students throughout the program and is encouraged to engage in discussions with the on-campus students through our technology hub. Additionally, distance MBA students are supported by the College of Business program coordinators, the MBA advisor, and technical support. Students have access to the wonderful reference business library. Distance MBA students are encouraged to come to Fort Collins for graduation and the related fesitivies.
- Individuals serving in the military and employed by the Federal Government make up the largest single group of students (current and alumni) in the CSU Distance MBA Program. Military personnel in the US or deployed around the world have found the DVD course delivery technology to give them the flexibility they need to complete the program.
- Begun in 1967, Colorado State University's Distance MBA Program is one of the very few AACSB accredited distance programs in the United States. Distance MBA Program students earn their MBA from Colorado State University; they do not earn an online or distance degree.
The MBA courses through the College of Business are taught by tenure-track Ph.D. faculty.
