Tulane Law Spinoff Thread: Tulane MBA
Posted on 12/9/13 at 5:47 pm

I know they recently had the admissions fudging scandal, but I'm beginning the process of exploring MBA programs and Tulane intrigues me. I have 3 years of work experience and would love to relocate to New Orleans and shift my career path.
Are employers now avoiding Tulane MBA grads due to the reputation hit? Are there any particular strengths of the business school? Does anyone here know much about the program?
ETA: Requested to move to Money Talk

Nahh... employers love hiring suckers

Is the price worth the doors it may may or may not open for you? I would say no. Go if your employer pays for it

Seems to be a steep price when you combine tuition plus two years of lost earnings.
Others can jump in to correct me but I thought the conventional wisdom was a) go if somebody pays for it, like saderade said or b) go if it's a top 15 program. Preferably, c) both.

The people at the Freeman school of business are good people. Law school or MBA shite costs money but in the end you can't have enough education. Good luck

Outside of the top 20 programs, most MBA programs are regional. The more well known schools in the region enjoy the best hiring numbers. While Tulane is a better school than LSU, the better grades likely do not trump LSU's name and reputation with employers, ie, more recruiters are likely to be LSU alums and fans than Tulane. That sort of thing seems petty but it's real.
I looked at both LSU and Tulane for my MBA and preferred LSU for the larger name recognition and the cost effectiveness. For an MBA program at least, I don't think Tulane is worth the cost.
Fwiw, I will (if everything turns out well) be graduating with my MBA this Saturday.

I want my MBA, but not from Tulane.
ETA: Freeman is a good school, but I need a change of scenery.

Just wait until Tulane beguiles you.

I have a Tulane MFin, not a Tulane MBA. I did take a lot of the same courses as the MBA's and knew a few grads from the 2012 and 2013 classes.
What kind of career path are you trying to break into? The Energy program is pretty strong and they have some solid connections, if that's what your interested in.

It would cost at least $80 grand to do the Tulane MBA. Unless you have the money to pay, I dont think taking out student loans(that charge interest daily) for that much is worth it unless you for sure have a job lined up that will pay you at least over $100k.
Ive looked into the MBA, I just cant risk that much money unless I had the job lined up or employer pays for it.
