Who has a better rep, Webster University, University of Phoenix or Keller Graduate School of Management?
I want to get a Graduate degree. I want it to be a MBA with a technical emphases or a Master in Information Systems or Master in I.T. Either way, I don't want to go to a traditional state school for my grad degree. I am a working professional and cant quit my job to attend a grad school, nor do I want to put up with state campus politics and stigmas... Anyways, my educational experience is in Business. I have a Associates in Business Admin at Rust College & a Bachelors in Mgmt and Organizational Development at Bethel College. Also, I live in Memphis, TN and would willing to drive to the Millington Navel base to attend school if needed. Anyways, tell me what you think... I am not doing online work, I want all my training to be face to face.

Check out the University of Maryland University College. Yes, it is a state university, but they are 100% online and a ton cheaper than all the ones you listed.

my sister is currently going to the Univ. of Phoenix., and she and i would agree that the Univ. of Phoenix has a higher rep. After Phoenix, i believe it is Webster, then Keller Graduate School of Management.

For a grad degree in business, you ideally want the program to be AACSB accredited. Many employers will only hire MBAs if they've gone to an AACSB accredited program. Of course, there are also some employers who don't care about that, but there are enough that do care that I feel I must mention it. The AACSB accredited programs in TN are: -Belmont University -East Tennessee State University -The University of Memphis -Middle Tennessee State University -University of Tennessee at Chattanooga -University of Tennessee at Knoxville -University of Tennessee at Martin -Tennessee State University -Tennessee Technological University -Vanderbilt University But that said, an AACSB accredited school may not fit what you need, as you describe it. If that's the case, try to find the best respected MBA program that you can. And of those you listed, that's absolutely the one at Webster University. Many employers have a strong bias against MBAs and other grad degrees from for-profit schools. Both U of P and Keller are for-profit schools. There's a real danger that you'd graduate with a grad degree and not be able to find a job with it, if you went there. You don't need to quit your job to get an MBA or other masters degree. Many schools offer part-time programs that are designed for working professionals such as yourself. In addition, if you can't find something you like local to you, you can go online. As with for-profit unis, though, a lot of employers are biased against online masters degrees. Thus you can combat that by going to a school that has a solid rep for their offline programs. Schools that offer online masters degrees in some or all of the fields you mentioned include Northeastern U, U Maryland, Penn State, UMass Amherst, Boston University, Drexel U, Southern New Hampshire U, UMass Dartmouth, Tiffin U, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Polytechnic University (NY), and others. In fact, if you can find a school that's vaguely in commuting distance of your home - say, within a few hours drive - there's usually no way for an employer to tell you did the degree online.
