MSM vs MBA vs other

[bjcheung77]

UIUC IMSM is good on its own, it's one of many or several that has AACSB and is not in Accounting... UIUC just wants to use that as a 'ladder' into their IMBA, but you really don't need to get the IMBA or ladder into that. IMSM already has 30 credits, it's a full or proper Masters in Management like any other out there. People just don't know and fall for their advertising as a ladder into the IMBA.

Basically, review your thread again, decide on what you're needing vs wanting, figure out what you're looking for in the next few years (career wise to see if you even need a Masters degree, maybe a cert, bachelors, or additional experience would do). Essentially, if you really are looking for a Masters instead of a Bachelors, here's a read I just posted a few minutes ago, it points to a few of my previous posts, including the UIUC IMSM vs IMBA

It's a good program, you can get it through the partnership option as I mentioned earlier. For $24K it's not too bad a deal... Having said that, I would go for their IMSM instead for half the price and it's a Masters that also has the AACSB programmatic or secondary accreditation. Many don't know that they're pretty much equal, but on their webpage, it tells you a logical progression from the IMSM to IMBA... Not many people need or want that progression, it's like having a WGU MSML, it's already got the ACBSP and good on its own.
