Texas-Austin offers a 2 year transelite MBA program as well as several PT and executive programs. With over 300 incoming students each year, this is a large FT program for this cluster.
Austin is a relatively inexpensive metro area, with the overall cost of living less than half that of NYC, and the cost for housing is less than a quarter of the price of NYC.
The center of the distribution tends to be in the 3.4, 670 range.
Academic Year: Semester
Electives begin in the second semester.
The core consists of the typical courses including Statistics, Financial Accounting, Finance, Micro, Operations, Marketing, IT, Strategy, Mangerial Acctg, and a selective requirement of one of three Human Mgmt courses.
Virtually all of the major firms recruit at Texas including McKinsey, BCG, Bain, ML, LB, MS, JPM, etc.
Note that since the majority of students remain in the Southwest of the US, the salaries appear deceptively low relative to salaries in New York or San Francisco/San Jose.
FT 2005 ranks Texas #57 worldwide- below Rice and above SMU.
EIU 2004 places Texas #45 worldwide- near Georgetown, Minnesota, and UC Davis.
