La Salle University, USA


AJ Dhary

For as long as 2 years' I was debating should I go for MBA, I work full time so online was a better option for me. Finally, I got an acceptance from La Salle University (regional university), based on my research it’s a good school, the total cost would be around $29500. Any comments, does it worth it? Is La Salle well known?

It's AACSB accredited, so it will provide a solid educational experience, if anything.

However, whether it will meet your goals is another question. What are your goals?

Usually, for most students, an FT ranked school is a better option. If you're looking at US schools only University of Nebraska at Lincoln would be a great choice, and in the cost ballpark. UMass Amherst will be a bit more expensive. There's also the Online MBA from University of Illinois, which is a great value. These program will probably all give you better post-MBA career improvement and networking than the La Salle program.

MBA hipster: thanks for your time and genuine feedback – I appreciate that. I have 20+ yrs of work experience, my goal is simple, I need MBA from an accredited university on my resume and some NEW knowledge e,g data analytics, digital marketing. You are correct about the University of Illinois—Urbana-Champaign, it was my first choice but got denied because of my low GPA. I live in Philadelphia Area where La Salle is well known and I checked their alumni quite impressive.

If you take some of the UIUC iMBA coursers on Coursera, and do well on them, they'll look at that in terms of your academic preparedness.
