Devry

[Cuz]

I am planning on going back to school for my Masters degree and I looked at Devry University's Keller Graduate School of Management.

 

Any thoughts I have looked at others including UOP but did not like the sales pitch???

 

TIA

I currently attend for their accounting program (Masters). Getting my CPA..

 

It's a good school if you don't want to take the GMAT.

 

I'm not sure if I would go there for my MBA program. Jobs tend to frown on profit schools.

Save your money.

 

An MBA from anyone outside the top 10 (If your employer is willing to pay for it then that is a different matter entirely) is likely to be a waste of money.

 

And I know of many Devry graduates working in jobs like Home Depot, Walmart, etc.

My thoughts are:

 

1. Go with who pays for it. If you get into X school and X school offers a good enough package that you aren't paying out of pocket, take it. Free degree is better than no degree, I don't care who you're getting it from.

 

2. Go with who your company will pay for. Some companies will not pay for certain schools. I know where I work (Panasonic) it's like that.

 

If you gotta pay for grad school (general rule of thumb of mine), get some professional experience under your belt and try to get your employer to foot the bill.

 

I'd rather wait a year or 3 to start the MBA/MA/MS/MEng and get it for free than start it now and drop any $ on earning it.
