Hello,

I was accepted in the Full time MBA program at university of Miami and at Pepperdine.
Which one will serve me better in the future?

Thank you

Both Pepperdine and University of Miami are pretty much regional schools: graduates tend to stay in the region when they graduate. So the first factor in your decision needs to consider whether you have a personal affinity for one region over the other (or reason to believe that one region will be experiencing a greater amount of growth).
Next, consider their recruiting strengths. If you are interested in finance/accounting, then Miami seems the stronger program (with nearly twice the percentage of graduates entering this field than Pepperdine has), but if you are interested in marketing/sales, then Pepperdine is much stronger. Pepperdine is internationally ranked by the Financial Times and has twice the number of living alumni than Miami - which translates to a larger and generally prouder network.
Keep these types of statistics and reasoning in mind as you make this difficult decision.
