[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will the effect of this joint effort be to cheapen both Vassar College degrees and MBA degrees ?

Several elite universities (U Chicago, Northwestern, U Michigan, Johns Hopkins, and others) offer nine-to-ten-month MIM (Masters in Management) degrees for recent college graduates with less than two years of post undergraduate work experience. Hundreds of universities offer certificate programs through continuing education arms that enable students to earn a certificate in business or in a specialty area in order to be better prepared for the working world. Some will even count credits earned in the one academic year masters in management program toward their MBA degree after the students get real world work experience and otherwise qualify for the school's MBA program.

[b]Hopefully, someone with better sense will counsel Vassar College students and recent graduates of Vassar that getting a degree from an unranked, non-selective MBA program immediately after finishing an undergraduate liberal arts degree may be an unwise use of the graduate's time,money,and other resources.[/quote][/b]

Sigh. You guys really don’t get it, do you? All you think about is chasing rank determined by entities that desperately need you people to buy into their rankings to financially stay afloat.

[b]For people into education you consistently miss the point of education.

I think it’s a great idea. [/quote]

It is clear that you miss the point of earning an MBA degree.[/quote]

Please explain it to me then.

But I’ll give you one great reason for MBA programs - it is for schools to make a sh!t load of money on another set of students coming back for another 2 years of overpriced education [/quote]

OMG you must be associated with this venture between Vassar College and SUNY New Paltz.

Google: Why earn an MBA and please reread what I have written above.

Very little to be gained from an MBA experience for those without real world post undergraduate work experience.

FWIW The top MBA programs offer the most value in terms of career options within one's prior field or in an alternate field if one's experience has led them to seek such opportunities.

The program designed by Vassar College & SUNY New Paltz MBA is little more than continuing & supplementing one's insufficient undergraduate experience while sacrificing future options & opportunities by earning a virtually worthless degree from a substandard, unranked, non-selective program.[/quote]

Huh? I’m basically saying colleges are over priced. I’m not associated with anything. But you are very married to the idea that this is a bad idea. Why do you care?

And I’ll remind you again that your focus on brand and rank is silly [/quote]
