Why should I choose Limestone College? The Limestone graduate program is unique in several ways. First, the program has been designed to take the best aspects of a traditional college MBA program as well as those from online programs. The Limestone program includes three weekend seminars, which are held on the main campus in Gaffney, South Carolina. These seminars give you a great chance to meet fellow students, network with professors, and see the campus. We believe that meeting fellow students and professors face-to-face will add immeasurably to each student's learning over course of the program. Secondly, Limestone College is dedicated to providing outstanding instruction for each class. While many online colleges and universities teach online courses with part-time adjuncts, Limestone is committed to using full-time faculty with doctoral degrees to teach in the graduate program whether you are taking an online class or attending one of the residencies.
