    I have made a short list(not final)
    1. Baker college
    2. Touro
    3. Columbia southern (if above two wont work out). Will i get admission to PHD in future with this MBA in a RA University like touro?

    Which one would be a better choice?

    High marks for Touro

    Hello,

    I just completed my MBA through Touro (waiting to have my graduation certified) and thoroughly enjoyed the program. If you want great instruction, coupled with knowledgeable faculty, plus a dash of flexibility - Touro will meet your needs!

    Happily considering the next step,

    Steven-

    Can you give me any information from a student's point of view about Touro's MBA.

    Iam torn between Touro and Amberton. Although Amberton is cheaper per credit you have to factor in books.

    I understand that Touro is $300.00 per credit, but there is no cost for books.

    What type of examination did you have?
    What was contact like with other student and professors?

    Every time I think I have made a decision (just recently I was sure I was going to go apply at Amberton) I read something else about Touro that takes me back to the drawing board.

    I have to make a decision in a couple of months.

    Thanks :) :) :)

    I don't think there will be a great deal of difference between Baker and Touro in terms of acceptance. Both are "ok" RA schools - but not AACSB or top tier. Baker's program is much like UoP's. They share a lot of faculty and their approach (6 week terms) is fairly similar. I believe, however, that Baker is run much more like an educational institution and less like a for-profit business (such as UoP). Do recognize that I teach for Baker.

    As for acceptance to a PhD program - if you're looking at the big 6 in DL (Argosy, Capella, NSU, UI, etc.), you probably won't have a problem. If you try to apply to an AACSB accredited business school's PhD program - you may find a hassle. They'd probably look down at Baker and Touro. For example, Case Western's DM program requires an MBA from an AACSB school.

    Regards - Andy
