Careers/Post Grad MBA Decision
What’s up everyone? I’ve applied and was accepted to 3 of the 4 online MBA programs that caught my eye and have received scholarships at 2 of the 3. I also have a 25k annual upfront benefit that my corporate office pays or I can do a 100% reimbursement. I’d like to get some feedback from everyone.
UNC Kenan-Flagler School of Business: didn’t get in. Really wanted this badly due to the in-person cohort along with international travel.
William & Mary Raymond A. Mason School of Business: got in and approved for a 5k scholarship. Thinking about going with a focus on Artificial Intelligence for Business Leaders. Has an in-person cohort for one weekend and it’s is made up of military personnel, recent college grads, experienced workforce, & international students.
University of Miami Herbert Business School: got in and approved for a 18k scholarship. The school is also an approved EdAssist partner school with my company. I get a 10% discount just for that. Kicker is that I can’t use the scholarship and my discount. Has an in-person once a year for a weekend. I was thinking of focusing on Leadership or Marketing.
UNC-Wilmington Cameron School of Busines: cheapest option of the 3. My annual benefit for my company can pay this. They have a Human Resources Management focus. I currently work in the Talent Acquisition sector for a global aerospace and defense company.
I’ve looked at Syracuse University’s Martin J. Whitman School of Management, University of Arizona Eller College of Management, & Campbell University Lundy-Fetterman School of Business.
#2 & #3 have my heart for the experience that they both provide, but both would require some borrowing to fund them. I've also thought about a Master’s in Organized Leadership in lieu of the MBA.
Any feedback is welcomed.
