Major: Business - Management and Administration (This Major's Salary over time)
I'm in the MBA program and just started in January of 2009. I had attended a very good undergraduate university, and decided to forfeit paying considerable sums of money and taking out alot of loans to relocate so that I could remain in my city.

The program is not difficult, and although relevant work is assigned, the instructors are professionals who alot of times don't know how to teach the material or have a firm understanding of it. The course work is assigned and actual assignments require considerable effort, and they are relevant to improve your business knowledge and skills. If you are already working, then this is a GREAT opportunity because you can still keep your job and go to school at night or online. I'll give them that. But there's no real focus on examining the broader issues of, say, consumer behavior, or venture capita or work place ethics or intercultural communication. This isn't necessarily a bad thing for those people who are working or just want an applicable business education, but for those of you who want to really examine issues and engage with your instructors, its just not going to happen.

At the same time, it doesn't have alot of resources, or agreements with companies or corporations, or many job fairs or other work opportunities. If you are going to graduate school at City U with the expectation that they're going to help you transition to another career or job, then City U isn't for you. Have a plan.

With that said, I would recommend this place for managers and professionals over 30 who don't want a major life change in updating their professional business education.
