U of M-Dearborn

Does anyone have info regarding the University of Michigan-Dearborns webMBA and its value? I know it has all the accreditdations, but how is it percieced by employers?

 

I am somewhat familiar with UofM Dearborn. The entire U of M family (Ann Arbor, Flint and Dearborn) benefit from the U of M name. Dearborn and Flint are branch campuses that, while being of somewhat less reputation then Ann Arbor, are still well regarded.

Dearborn has been in the adult education game for some time. They have a competent faculty (at least my interactions support this).

Is U of M Dearborn a top MBA program - no. Are they way above the garden variety DL MBA program - yes. AACSB accreditation and their U of M lineage certainly speaks to this.

The tuition, while beyond my budget, appears to be reasonable.

Expensive

At $38k before books for a 4 year program there are more reasonable alternatives out there:

Arizona State - $34K for 2 years (some travel required)

Auburn - $18.4K for 2 years (some travel required)

Indiana (Kelley) - $36K for 2 years (some travel required)

UMASS-Amherst - $25K for 2 years (no travel)

UT-Arlington - $25K for 2 years (no travel)
