Texas A&M (Mays) or Tulane (Freeman) PMBA Program?

by flat_syx » Wed Mar 28, 2012 2:16 pm
Hi,

I've been accepted to both Texas A&M (Mays) and Tulane (Freeman) PMBA Programs here in Houston. I received my undergraduate degree from Texas A&M so I thought it would be beneficial to diversify and get my Masters from a different university.

Additionally, Tulane has been offering their PMBA program for about 10 years in Houston while I would be in the inaugural Texas A&M program. Cost wise, they are almost the same (Tulane is only slightly more). Tulane is a 56 credit hour program while A&M is a 48 hour program and both are 2 years in duration. I am leaning more towards Tulane, but which school would you choose and why?

I am really struggling with this decision and and help would be much appreciated!

Congrats on your acceptance to both programs! This is a really tough choice. It comes down to a few things: 1. Course offerings - which school has the most courses in your area of interest? 2. Post MBA job opportunities - this one isn't as easy to compare given Mays is a new program, but you should feel free to reach out to their career services department to find out their strategy on attracting top employers 3. Fit - one of these just might feel like a better "fit" than the other. I encourage you to visit the schools and sit in on a class to get a better feel for each one.

This is a tough choice, but hopefully the answers to the above will help you make an informed decision.

Best,

Stacey

Thanks for the nice reply. I am more comfortable choosing an established program versus a brand new program. Both are great schools and I wouldn't trade my undergraduate years at Texas A&M for anything, but I think diversifying and getting my graduate degree from Tulane would offer exposure to companies that recruit at both schools and to the alumni network of both schools.
