Currently shopping around for MBA programs. I am located in Charlotte, NC, leaving my choices between UNC Charlotte, Wake Forest (satellite location), and Queens University. I am unable to relocate at the time. I have pretty much ruled out Queens as it is not well known and is expensive, as it is private. Now I am choosing between paying a hefty fee for Wake Forest, or going cheaply at UNC-C. My question is; is a top notch MBA program important when you also hold a CFA charter? I am not exactly sure what field I?d like to go into (new to industry), so I can?t tell exactly what field I am looking into. Between my uncertainty, and the fact it looks like I will be moving into a lower level back office management position soon, I really just want to keep all my options open, hence both the MBA and CFA. I will be looking to start a family soon and would like my wife to stay at home, so cost is a HUGE issue for me. At the same time, I don\'t want to \'waste\' my time and/or money if a \'lesser\' program (UNC-C) is not worth it. Wake Forest Cost: ~$70k for program Rank: 32 in part time UNC Charlotte Cost: ~$25k Rank: 66 in part time Thanks for any help. Richard |
