I am planning to pursue online MBA from a college that has a GMAT Waiver. I shortlisted 3 of them so far: Colorado State University - Distance MBA ($29K) Rochester Institute of Technology - Exec. MBA ($60K) Northeastern Univ. - MBA ($70K) I am confused here which course is best worth for money as well has the best brand value. Let's face it that online courses still don't rank up to traditional colleges and hence you cannot ignore the brand value specially for an MBA course. Suggestions/Comments/Feedback pls.
I would recommend for Colorado State University's MBA because low tuition. Besides, an MBA does not mean that guarantees you with a job. Only going for Northeastern University if get discount or free tuition.
Hi, welcome to the board. It's experience in your field that will be the most important factor in landing you a job, not a particular school. Unless you are going to Harvard, your school is not nearly as important as your history in your field. If you are just starting out, then the school matters a lot, if you are seasoned, it doesn't matter as much. By the way, if you change your text to bold, the links go away. This is a little bug in the system that Chip will hopefully have fixed soon.
So I guess price is no option for you? Do you have a budget? Are you paying out of pocket? Those are some big numbers in your post for an MBA. Where is your under grad from? I know I know, thats a lot of questions.
Well price is always a criteria but yes I can afford all the 3 courses states in my post. I don't mind paying 60-70K if it adds value to my resume and career in the long term but if I can get the same value for 30K why not, I'll choose that. I have done my undergrad and masters in computers from India. I have about 11 yrs of work experience and I am thinking of adding a MBA to my qualification now.
