<p>Is it worth the price? I also have a shot at Rice’s MBA. Which would be the better option? </p>
<p>If I am going to shell out some big bucks for either degree I am atleast looking for academic reputation, international recognition and a solid alumni network. Which school would be a better fit?</p>
<p>According to USNWR, the average net compensation (salary, bonus, other) for a 2006 Rice MBA grad was $119042. Same numbers with Vanderbilt MBA: $122945</p>
<p>Vanderbilt’s business school historically ranks on top and places grads faster and higher. Current (USNWR): V34 vs R48.</p>
<p>Recruiter assessment scores (USNWR; 0-5): V3.9 vs R3.4</p>
<p>The school can only do so much though as you know.</p>
<p>try UF MBA in gainesville…ranked the same as Vandy, much cheaper.</p>
<p>is it true that you can do the MBA program in 1 additional year…like start your senior year and then finish in the fifth year? I just returned from a visit and was unclear on what the tour guide said.</p>
<p>if so, do most students major in Economics or something like that?</p>
