I am moving to Chicago in the summer and need to finish my degree while I'm there. I've already completed 2 years at a 4 yr university. I'll be entering as Junior but I haven't taken any math or science classes (long story on that) so the guy at UIC told me that I probably won't get in bc of no math/science... so I thought about Roosevelt University because it's downtown and I'm a little strapped on what I can afford. Does anyone know if this is a good school? I had never even heard of it before I started researching schools in Chicago. I know it's a smaller school, but I don't know if it's worth a damn?

NOT a good school, there are other choices in Chicago.

The UIC guy steered you the right way. Roosevelt is a good school if you are going to stay in the Chicago area and it is really geared toward people, mostly older and working, who are going back to school. Still, it is not cheap. Besides that, you would be charged out-of-state tuition at UIC anyway until you've been in Illinois for 6 months.
If I were you I'd just take a couple of math and science classes at one of the community colleges and then transfer to UIC if you don't think Roosevelt would be a fit for you.

If cost is the main issue, try getting some math and science classes at a community college and then transfer into the school of your choice. Going to a CC is 1) cheaper than a University and 2) you can establish residency while you're there and qualify for in-state tuition rates when you transfer.

Top:
University of Chicago
Above Average:
Depaul University
Loyola University Chicago
University of Illinois at Chicago
Try some of these schools.
Roosevelt is not worth a damn; noone has ever heard of it. As the poster above said; it is average at best.

Although a JD will provide you with an intense ability to analyze literature and language, you will starve to death with the degree, and I thus say you forgo that option. A masters in law sounds unique. I am sure there are many more people that possess an MBA than a masters in law. However, I would think if someone wanted to consult with an expert in intellectual property law, they would consult with an intellectual property lawyer (albeit there would be several other lawyers fighting for that one client). I think the MBA would simply be the most useful. The downside is that an MBA is vaugely unique. If it isn't exciting enough, see what other degree programs you may be interested in. If you like law and what not, consider forensic science. If you like business, consider finance.
