I have applied to three schools to get my MBA, Executive and Online programs. (Full-time is not an option for me right now; I want to keep working!) I have a quality undergraduate degree from a top school with a great reputation. I want a degree that will take me places in marketing and open up opportunities globally.
Career Aspirations: Brand Management, Marketing, International Assignment
Schools Applied to:
Vanderbilt Executive MBA (Americas Program)
-most expensive
-concern that the networking is lessened
-lack of electives
-potential for most "brand" recognition
-international travel/emerging market experience with Americas Program
-(minor) give up two weekends a month to classes with no make-up opportunities
Indiana's Kelley Direct Online MBA
-lower cost
-reputation for marketing, full-time professors teaching
-lots of electives
-international case study/emerging market opportunity
-flexible timeline (not lock-step)
-pioneered the online MBA
Arizona State's Online MBA
-lower cost
-lots of electives
-less flexible lock-step program
