This should be posted in the Graduate School - MBA forum. Will you be working full-time and attending the program part-time or will you attend the program full time? The programs you mentioned above are about the same. Most of the students are part-time and working. You should find out about the recent history of full time employment after getting the MBA and how difficult to find a job after graduation. From my experience, most recruiters recruit from the top 25 to 30 MBA programs and these programs generally have significant number of full time students. I believe programs such as Pepperdine and CPSLO have much fewer recruiters to their campuses. You don’t want to be strapped with MBA debt and not have a job.
