And where is mcneese ranked?

The question isnt where McNeese is ranked, its whether or not having a ranked MBA even matters for the OP.

If this answer is not really, then he can save himself and his employer quite a bit of money.

Lets be truthful, the MBA is not as coveted as it once was and many employers could give a rip where you got your MBA from. LSU is far from the top and only a small slip from being unranked. If the OP is looking to get on at Wall St. perhaps he would do better choosing another school alltogether.

I work in healthcare and I interviewed and was accepted to a nationally ranked MBA program here in FL. Ultimately I turned it down to attend the USF MBA program which was closer to home and a lot cheaper. The reasoning? Your MBA choice doesnt matter in my industry and I will be paid just as much as a UF grad(and sadly just as much as a Phoenix)..

If the OP's situation is similar to mine and he will get paid the same whether he goes to McNeese or LSU its a no brainer to go to McNeese if his employer gives him flack about LSU's cost.
