Re: MBA college recommendation



A few details would possibly help assess your situation.

- Age?
- Currently employed as?
- MBA specialization desired?
- Desired employment as?
- Married? Children? Other family responsibilities?

I'm guessing that you are located between Fullerton and Long Beach.

The best MBA programs in LA are IMHO UCLA, USC, with Pepperdine a notch
below. I know graduates from all three. My perception is that UCLA and USC
are both first-rate programs. Pepperdine tends to attract more people who
are lifting themselves up by their bootstraps, which I think gives it a
better alum network than might be perceived, although not at the level of
the first two. If you are a traditional full-time MBA student with no
significant work experience, I'd widen my net a little.

If you are employed and plan on remaining at the same employer, I think the
school is less important than the piece of paper - you are already something
of a known quantity. I'd also suggest pursuing tuition reimbursement
through your employer - in which case I'd advise looking into some of the
programs like UCLA's FEMBA.

But this is all blather without some more details from you.
