How many worthless classes do you have?

At least two classes each semester are absolutely worthless. Everyone just works on their computer while the teacher is talking. It’s a guaranteed pass and you wouldn’t get anything out of the class if you did pay attention. Homework is simple assignments that again, submit and you’ll get a good grade.

Do others also have these worthless classes?

I have two other classes that require 12+ hours per week so I guess things even out.

Just like undergrad, most the course material from your MBA is going to be useless. Fortunately the uselessness is a smaller percentage of courses. Depending on what you plan to do with your degree afterwards will make particular courses useful. In general, the courses that tend to be the most useful will be Accounting, Corporate Finance, Marketing, and Strategy. If you have any classes on quantitative analytics, supply chain management, M&A, or financial modeling they may come in handy depending on what your plans are. But everything else is just filler.

I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university.

Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
