In reply to this question, What do you think of MBA programs from places like Devry/Keller and City U compared to State ran Universities, I can say you that take a look at this site http://onlinecollegesfaqs.net because may be it can help you

As you described; “is it worth it to take the GMAT and pay more $$” I hope it might help you.

Best of Luck 🙂

It is always best to study at the very best university that you can. If the best you can get in is DeVry or UoP then that’s better than nothing – but, if you can get into a better program, the value will be much higher.

Interestingly, it’s often the case that your State U is less expensive than some of those lesser reputed colleges. Compare the prices at University of Phoenix vs YourState U. and you may be really surprised. You pay less for a better reputation.

Keep in mind though that this is a never-ending game. People with a Harvard MBA will tell you that those people with an MBA from State U are “dumb as dirt”. I suspect that the people from Oxford consider themselves to be above those from Harvard… it goes on and on.

Bottom line – attend the best reputed school that you can.

MBAs are one of the degrees where the quality of the program is extremeley important. If you are good enough to get into a ranked MBA program — do that. Their graduates are in demand and can greatly improve their salary.

If you are not able to get into a ranked program — then the MBA may help you get ahead in your current position, but is unlikely to help you get a new job in a prestigious company at a higher salary. Any bump in salary you get will probably not pay for the cost of the degree. If this is your situation, then my advice is to get an MBA at the local public university.
