Master's Degree?

Question

Is a Degree from Webster University as good as a degree from a Major University? I am thinking about getting my MBA from Webster University.

Answer 1

If you need name recognition to get your next job, as opposed to getting that job based solely on your past job experience, then go to a big name school. Otherwise, a local school, like Webster, will be just fine for learning the skills you a looking for.

I've attended many colleges and universities, and graduated from four: BS, BS, MS, and PhD. What I discovered is that the educations I received from them all have been about the same level of quality. That is, the skills I learned from them all were equally useful. So what you learn at Webster will likely be as useful as what you might learn at the Wharton business school with the U. of Pennsylvania for example.

But, and this is a BIG BUT, the lack of name recognition and the lack of a highly ranked business school will hurt your job getting abilities if your job experience is minimal. That is, when the school you went to is your prime selling point, good local schools, like Webster, take second place to good big schools, like U. Pa., almost every time in a job interview.

I got my PhD in business administration from a little known, but good school in San Francisco. But, for me, that lack of ranking or name recognition was no problem; I had a job and would not need to interview for one using the school I went to as a selling point. Meanwhile, the skills I learned at the local school helped me do better work and get a substantial pay raise.

Webster University is a "regional" major university. It's well respected in the St. Louis area. The only problem is it has little name recognition outside there.

I think it would be just fine to get a MBA there...although you may want to check out the programs at your local state university - they may well be cheaper, better, and offer an online option.

Answer 3

As good in what sense? Can you learn as much there as you would at a ranked MBA program? Yes -- you might -- but the average student probably doesn't. Will you be able to get a big increase in pay, a new job or change fields? Probably not.

If you can get an MBA from a top 15 school, you will have several six figure job offers and can change careers with no problem.

If you go to a ranked school outside the top 15, you will get a nice increase in pay (higher increases for better schools) and should be able to find a job after graduating. You should be able to change fields if you want.

If you get an MBA from a school that is not ranked, there will be very little improvement in your ability to change careers, get more pay or switch jobs. It might be worth while if you want to stay with your current company and they pay for it. Otherwise, it is a waste of money.

Webster is a good enough regional university -- but an MBA from there will do nothing for you.
