MBA or JD Vanderbilt
MBA Internal audit LSU
Bama JD is top 30 now
Missouri Journalism although maybe a dying job
Truth is every SEC school has at least one elite program but Vanderbilt name is valued everywhere.

Texas is better known and has a better network than Vandy, whether MBA, JD, or MSTC (entrepreneur's MBA).

Damn, if some of you aren’t complaining about someone being in a fraternity, you’re casting aspersions on someone that valued education and wanted to advance their lives. Some of you have immense inferiority complexes. Do better.

Tax LLM from UF

From a ranking standpoint, this is the correct answer.

MBA SMU, have to say UT. Great business school. Network. And, the economy in TX is very strong and only growing.

Agreed Texas is one of best State Schools in USA (as is UF) and has great reach, but if you are going to NYC,LA,Chicago international etc, Vandy is alone among the 14 SEC schools.

I agree. If you are OK with living in Texas all your life then UT masters as good as it gets.
The same is probably true for every other state though, and their respective state university.

Yep. If you want to live somewhere more extravagant than Texas you are certainly better off with vandy.

Building Science Auburn University


Building Science isn’t a Masters (I don’t think), but that is a degree that’s hard to beat. You will likely make 6 figures right out of college, and if you aspire to make mega money, this is a field you can absolutely do it in with some determination and hard work. All the GC’s I personally know that graduated from that program at Auburn are doing exceptionally well for themselves.

Harvard, Stanford, Kellogg, Wharton, Booth, Columbia, and MIT are pretty consistently and nearly universally considered to be the best 7 MBA programs (in some order) in the U.S.

Self selected history in the Northeast for those headed to Wall Street to work for GS or any of the well known investment banking / consulting firms. Harvard especially has great life long networking, and the somewhat snobbish attitude to go along with it.

Someone with a Vanderbilt or Rice MBA for example is no less skilled than those from the Ivy League schools. Just a different culture and geography.

Where I've seen a significant difference is with MIT engineers. They are to me without a doubt a cut above most. Cal Tech as well.

My recently late uncle (and namesake) had a PhD from MIT in Physics.

DuPont snapped him up right out of graduation and he was with them for his whole career.

Died in his early 90s.

Goddam he was sharp.

Did work study for Doc Edgerton.

Long way of saying “MIT”.

I need to see those rankings and how an "international MBA" is defined.


Not my field so I can't define it but this is nothing new it has been considered the #1 International MBA program for over 30 years. They don't remotely compete with Stanford, Kellog, Wharton and Booth in regular MBA programs.

It is similar to Stetson, Baylor, Fordham and Temple being the best law schools for trial advocacy but not a single one of them is a T14 school, I doubt any of them except Fordham is even in the top 50.
