LOL “Top Ranked” Good laugh for a Friday afternoon
When asked the question “Are you a ranked business school and if so calculate your ranking”, they must not have paid attention to the Key Word “Calculate” and just answered. Technically they are correct, but they have been awarded no points.
One of my gal pals attended Pepperdine MBA on a full scholarship. Graduated in 2012; still looking for work. Sometimes even a free degree isn’t worth what you paid for it.
You did not read the fine print. They are the top ranked online MBA program among those programs that are administered by private, Christian universities located in Malibu, CA.
The real question what is the profile of the people who aren’t getting accepted by these schools? Not to be offensive, but if graduating from there is hacksaw… what’s the step below that?
Pepperdine online? The ONLY reason to go to Pepperdine is the campus location. The views from the dorms are un-f’n-believable. I dorpped off my kids there for a tennis camp and I didn’t want to leave.
this school is a classic example of a Bullcrap program that charges an insane amount of amount for little value, but people still take out loans for the MBA thinking its a win.
Any decently intelligent person will notice the stats: only 50% at graduation have jobs. that’s a really costly $90k (and 2 years of your life) you just flushed down the toilet for a 50/50 maybe chance at a job.
And I would bet anything that the 50% successful at landing a job includes menial non-MBA required jobs that students take just to have any job.
While I won’t speak to Pepperpot university, online MBAs do have value for established career folk in the corporate world. They won’t help you “break-in,” but there is a a market for which these have value. I’m not an online MBA grad or student so I have no bias in favour, just saying.
A lot of the time its just a credential. I think of the guys that hustled up without an undergrad. Or in my last company you needed an MBA or designation before promotion. In these cases, such things can work out, regardless of how awful the program.
Meh. There are some online MBAs that I wouldn’t be embarrassed to list on my resume. . Such as Indiana University (Kelley), UNC (Kenan-Flagler), and Carnegie Mellon (Tepper). . Actually, that’s probably the whole list.
agree. I’ve always said the real value of an MBA is 1) strength of on-campus recruiting and 2) the power of the network/relationships you can build while there
Yup; mostly those, plus 3) Being able to list that name of the fancy selective b-school you were accepted to on your resume, bio, etc for the rest of your life.
