Wayne State University-MBA online

Wayne State University has an online MBA program and it is AACSB accredited. Does anybody have more information about the reputation of this school?

 

Wayne State is the third Research I university in Michigan behind the University of Michigan and Michigan State. It is certainly reputable. From their web page:

"Wayne State University is a comprehensive university with 11 schools and colleges. We offer more than 350 academic programs, including 126 bachelor's degree programs, 139 master's degree programs, 60 doctoral degree programs and 32 certificate, specialist and professional programs.

Ranked 47th among the 108 research library systems in the United States, the Wayne State University library system includes six libraries providing a broad range of resources and tools. The Undergraduate Library contains state-of-the-art technology and information resources, and the Reuther Library of Labor and Urban Affairs is the largest archive of its kind."

Unlike U of M and MSU, Wayne State is an urban campus with far more commuter students. I don't know anything about their online offerings.

 

My standard advice to anyone seeking a DL M.B.A. is to look at Jonnie's Distance Learning Page, which lists over 200 legitimately accredited M.B.A. programs;

Wayne State University 4th Tier

It is a fourth Tier University (4th being the lowest). If you are 4th tier you should really request not being ranked.

I think it's best student be informed and not follow marketing hype from the universities marketing departments.

Look at US New and World reports 4th Tier ranking of the school (U of M and Michigan State are 1st Tier; Western Michigan, Eastern, Oakland U, Central are 3rd and WSU is 4th and NOW cost more than many).
