Justify LSU EMBA vs McNeese MBA
Posted on 6/22/11 at 12:04 pm

I an engineer for a company that offers 90% tuition reimbursement for continued education and I intend to enroll in MBA school this fall. With 4 years experience, I have been accepted to the LSU Executive program as well as McNeese. I have to justify the cost difference between LSU's program ($46,800) and McNeese (~$10,000). One argument is that I will be working with people of greater experience levels >10 yrs) than myself throughout this process. Any other ideas from people that have experience in this arena? What would you do?

I justified going the EMBA route because the schedule of the EMBA didn't interfere with my work hours. Evening or day MBA hours just wont work for me or my employer.
The work experience/networking factor may not matter much to your employer IMHO.
I'm amazed how cheap McNeese is, the least expensive schools here in FL offering MBA's are still $25K or more.

If you go to lsu, you won't have to put mcneese on your resume.
You are paying for networking and ranking.

I think it's a wash betwen the two. You're not exactly going to WOW somebody with an MBA from LSU. Really the value of your MBA depends mostly on what you are doing before you get the MBA. If your employer sees leadership skills in you and they're willing to invest in your education then it really doesn't matter where you go - LSU or McNeese. FWIW, I know the CFO at Motiva and he got his MBA from Nicholls St.

I was accepted into Nicholls EMBA and LSU's EMBA programs this week. I chose Nicholls as they were a little less expensive and I wanted to get my MBA from a different school from my undergrad. I'm not sure if you considered them or not.
I researched a lot about their program and I liked everything I saw. The director is super nice and very helpful.
