Need help on Deciding MBA program

by sm82 » Tue May 19, 2009 10:23 am
I was just accepted to Fordham's Part-time MBA program which my employer would pay for 100% (but not guaranteed specifically down the line in the case the economy gets worse of course), as well as Boston College's Full-time MBA program, which I would be essentially paying out of pocket close to 100%. I would have a concentration in Finance and I believe both are adequate (BC is ranked 14th and Fordham 21st for the Finance specialty). Does anyone have any insight or advice?

Thanks

I'm not sure what ranking you are referencing, but here is what I would do:

1) Contact the career placement offices at each school and discuss placement for the kinds of positions you are interested in.
2) Research the program and determine which appeals to you more.

If Fordham is head in both categories, then I would go to Fordham and grab the chance at a full ride. If it splits or Boston is a clear winner -- especially with #1 -- then it might pay to pay.

Best,
Linda
