<p>So…i’m going back to school to get my MBA…and the school I’m choosing (Indiana Wesleyan in North Indianapolis) fits most of my criteria…in it’s within my price range.</p>
<p>The issue…i’m an atheist and Indiana Wesleyan is a christian school.</p>
<p>Does this make me a hypocrite or a walking contradiction?</p>
<p>What do you all think about Indiana Wesleyan as a school?</p>
<p>Apparently they have a devotional (what is this exactly?) and prayer requests. They also give you an application bible. </p>
<p>I’m an older student…and one requirement for me is I do not want to take the GMAT. I’ve never done well on standardized tests so i’m not even going to begin to take it. But it seems just about every school requires it for the MBA program.</p>
<p>However, I don’t want to go to a for-profit school like Devry either.</p>
<p>There is a school here named Franklin University of Ohio. Never heard of it though…but I don’t know of any other options.</p>
<p>A school I’ve never heard of that doesn’t require a GMAT. Have you researched their placement statistics? Where are students getting jobs or are they getting employers to pay for it?</p>
<p>Skooby have you researched this school at all? The Indianapolis North campus is a building by the interstate ramp. 100% commuters. Probably a half-step above Devry, if that, in the for-profit category. They will take anybody who can get a loan to pay tuition. Your biggest problem socially will be finding a parking space.</p>
<p>–Indiana Wesleyan University’s beautiful Indianapolis (North) Education and Conference Center is conveniently located on the north side of the I-465 loop near Keystone Avenue in the Precedent Office Park. This facility houses 26 state-of-the-art classrooms, six study rooms, a full-service library, a computer lab, three break areas, a large lounge, and vending machines throughout the building. These facilities are enjoyed by students and faculty each week and are also available for use as conference space by area businesses and organizations.–</p>
<p>I mention the interstate because you act in your original post like you are entering some isolated, homogenous Christian university where people will be intolerant of your age and religious views. The average age at the school is 33, and everybody at North Indianapolis campus commutes, so, no, I would be surprised if your age and religious views will be a problem to the middle-aged students there who probably have more pressing everyday concerns than discussing religion. More than half their graduate students in the College of Adult and Professional Studies are online students, so that is obviously the way most of their students age going.</p>
<p>I don’t know if placement statistics would mean much, if they exist, since most of the graduate business students are probably already working, just like you. At least you would think so, since most of them are over thirty.</p>
<p>Most schools have some sort of Christian roots. Grad programs rarely force religious classes on people. You might have to deal with a cross in the hallway or something, but other than that you should be fine.</p>
