USC Marshall vs UCI Merage

by orangebrownie » Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:45 pm
Just found out I got into both programs. I've very excited but have a tough decision to make this week. There are pros & considerations I see for each program. Just wondering if anyone out there has any advice.

Merage Pros: Up & coming program, almost everything is covered in the tuition fees, close to where I live.

Marshall Pros: Alumni network & prestige, excellent career management center, first year I can attend the Irvine center.

Congrats on your success of getting into both colleges. Before you make a final decision, I would suggest performing some research to help with your determination of choosing which one is more suitable. I have enclosed a website that may be of assistance in showing you a comparison of both schools based on key factors. I hope this is somewhat useful for you.

Congratulations. Perhaps you can provide a little more info on what industry and career you are looking to enter post grad. I graduated from Marshall Undergrad and am knowledgeable on their MBA program. UC Irvine is a fantastic school and I think has very valuable of a program, however USC treats itself as being more prestigious. I have a friend who works in Irvine and is doing the part time MBA at USC. He can leave at 4pm and still get to downtown by 6pm classes. If it were my decision, I would choose UC Irvine though. The reason is because I dont think the USC MBA program has many additional resources to offer me above my undergrad.

It would be helpful to have a better sense of your post-MBA plans as that would likely impact your choice.
