Penn State
#4
Machelle Wrote:I live in PA, so I know what this degree would mean for me. I am seeking a Masters in Business Administration, and I am pretty sure I could do this completely online with them. I am close to finishing my BS/BA (three more classes!), and am looking to start an MBA program in July. I am really trying to decide whether I should go for CCU or Penn State. There is definitely a significant price difference, but I wonder if it would behoove me more to go with Penn State, since it is more well known in my area. Decisions, decisions....

I would say it depends what you plan to do with your degree. Penn State is considered to be in the class of Ivy League schools. If you plan to work for a company that is concerned about the name of the school you graduated from, you might want to go to Penn State.

If your employer is only concerned that you have graduated and doesn't care about the name of the school, then perhaps CCU will get you a degree that is accredited, can be completed relatively quickly and within your budget.

Good luck.
