Comment on How is the REGIONAL reputation of the University of San Francisco's MBA program? by Ranto

It would be much better than SFSU.

It is a decent school. It isn’t Berkeley or Stanford — but people won’t laugh at you for going there.

Think about applying to UC-Davis.

The top distance learning MBA program is the one that best meets your criteria and preferences. Before you decide on an MBA program or school, consult the Official MBA Guide, a comprehensive free public service listing more than 2,000 MBA programs worldwide. Use it to search for programs by geographic location (US, Canada, Asia, Europe), subject concentration (finance, marketing, health management, aviation management), and type of program (full-time, part-time, executive, distance learning, and accelerated). You can get a list of MBA programs that best fit your criteria and preferences. You can examine data about the schools in your list, access the school’s URL, and contact the program administrator by email. The Guide also shows lists of top 40 schools ranked on various criteria such as GMAT scores of students, starting salaries at graduation, and more. It’s the best MBA resource at http://officialmbaguide.org

Google It

Try Golden Gate University and the University of Denver for starters. There must be hundreds of accredited MBA programs that are at least partly on-line.

Avoid U. of Phoenix and Colorado Tech.

There are tons of online programs. I personally attended American Intercontinental Univ. and Capella University, and have taught for various online schools including the University of Phoenix. All are accredited and solid programs.

The key is to make sure the college/university is accredited. I have three basic recommendations for everyone looking into online/distance education. They all have to do with exploring; after all, you have to defend your assets.

1. Make certain that you have triple checked their accreditation. First, they tell you what it is, then you go to that accrediting body’s website (not through the link provided by the school), and thirdly you would visit the department of education to see what they have to say. Do your diligent research into the institutions once you have narrowed down to a couple. You can look at the Better Business Bureau for more information on the college.

2. You must have extreme self motivation and be able to teach yourself per say. This means that you will not have someone telling you verbally, so it is up to you to get the information from the course room, text, and other resources. The best way to look at it is like a guided independent study course.

3. Review your goals, personal and professional. Make sure that the school that you are going to offers the programs that match your goals. Do not settle. There are many programs that are similar, but you have to make the ultimate decision. Do not let it be based on finances and length of program, but the fact that when you are finished or near finished you will be able to assume your proper place in the career field sought.

You should market yourself and not the degree or university. There are many traditional universities offering degrees that can be earned through online methods. Distance Learning Alliance has a list of these traditional online schools. Look at that if you are truly concerned with the name of the school. Good luck on your search!

Comment on How do I answer: Why should we hire you when we can hire someone with an MBA? by kimberhill

Well hopefully you have substantial real life work expereince in the area or nothing you say will matter.

So you should explain that whilst you have not had the formal training, you have successfully held down a similar position and that you would be interested in earning your MBA (only say it if you mean it though)

If the job required an MBA, you would not even get an interview so a good reply would be perhaps, " I’m hoping one day to earn my Master’s degree and hope in the meantime, the experience that I will gain from this position will benefit both you (the employer) and myself and afford me the ability to pursue that goal." "BTW, does your company have a tuition reimbursment benefit?"

Comment on How much will a MBA/JD cost me in living expenses and tuition after 4 years? by Serge M

Tough questions and impossible to answer. It depends on a lot of factors. You can probably do it for less. but not much less. I can’t help you with law schools but for MBA programs, consult the Official MBA Guide. It’s a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It’s the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.

Comment on Should I get my MBA right after graduation or wait a while? by Michmax

Most schools say they prefer you to have a few years work experience before going on to grad school. The reason is you will be able to contribute much more as well as learn more from your peers if you have real-world knowledge. If you found a school that will take you, great, just keep that in mind that youmay not get the full experience of what you can learn.

On the other hand it will be much harder for you to make that switch later on, after you are making money and have been out of school a few years to make a huge life change and go back. I am 24 and thinking of going for my MBA soon, it is tough for me to get back into that school mode. I have been thinking of this for over a year and have made no real progress to getting there. It is hard, I have a full time job and more responsibility now at home.

I think it depends on your personality, if you think you will have a hard time getting back into it later than go now. I valued my experience at work these last few years, but if I could be 24 and done with graduate school already, I would fee pretty good about that.
