    I was wondering which is a better school and has a better DL MBA program?

    When you are comparing two schools accredited by the North Central Association, the word "better" has to mean "better for you."

    The "eleven vital factors" in choosing an MBA, as described in our book, are helpful to many. You'll find them (free) on the publisher's website at
    http://www.degree.net/guides/mba_guide.html

    Looking at Salem info online, I note:
    Total number of freshman applicants: 251
    Total number of freshman applicants admitted: 249

    My question: who were those other two people, and what was wrong with them?

    Not a lot of people have experience with Salem and I doubt you will get comparison info here but I personally prefer the later. I emailed Salem a couple of weeks back asking if they offered any DL/online degree program and they said they dont.

    As I have said before, I looked at Bellevue when I was considering doing a MBA online. I corresponded a bit with them and was impressed with their atttitude.

    The price is right, too.

    Sorry that I have no first hand experience.

    Good luck.

    Thanks for the help everyone. I am also gearing more towards Bellevue U. I have talk with them on the phone a few times and they seemed really nice. Also the price of the program in great and I am looking for an MBA that can be completed in 18 months or less. So I like the fact that it's an 18 months program.

    Why dont you try CSUDH. They just need 450 on GMAT and are ACBSP and might get AACSB soon.

    Well I have a few friends that took the GMAT and they told me that it was a major pain in the ass. So I am trying to avoid it. BTW is it really hard to get 450 on the GMAT?

    NOP .. 3~4 days of study should get you 450.

    You can not go wrong on Bellevue. I graduated from BU this past summer. Bellevue is a great school, very affordable, and the staff/faculty are very professional.

    The MBA program at Bellevue isn't an easy ride, but with the right commitment and determination, you will make it.

    Good luck!!
