Hi,
I have admits from both. Thunderbird has given me 25K scholarship.Still I will have to shell out 85K (includes all expenses).
SFSU has good reputation in the bay area. Tuition fees -40K.
But SFSU is not a ranked school.Only + is it's in the Bay Area where presume I would get internships easily.
Thunderbird is in Glendale(location - ).Although ranked 1 in international business,the employment figures are worrying.
Pls suggest what do I do .Thank you...
Thunderbird or San Francisco State for MBA??

Fascinating choices. I think this really depends on your career goals and how much you already know your direction. Thunderbird's alumni are in open revolt against the school, and I think it's a risky choice. SFSU students actually get higher salaries (See http://business-schools.findthebest.com/compare/49-65/Thunderbird-School-of-Global-Management-AZ-vs-San-Francisco-State-University-CA ) but there's clearly less non-faculty resource there to support students, although there are some good-looking careers workshops. The quality of Thunderbird students will be higher and more diverse, but also younger and more dissatisfied with their school.
With a gun against my head I would choose SFSU for myself, but I would also spend the tuition you save on the career development and language training which SFSU will be weaker on.

Could you clarify this? Are alumni unhappy with the school?
I'm not sure what I would choose. Thunderbird is ranked in the Economist, but SFSU isn't. But SFSU has a really great concentration in Sustainable Business, which is personally interesting to me, so that would probably tip the scales a bit.

I can't answer a very broad question like what are the career options in sustainable business. If you read my post How to use LinkedIn to find the best school www.find-mba.com/board/33571 then you'll guess that I suggest you look for MBAs in the Bay area with the word sustainable in their profiles. In terms of other projects, why not start a sustainable SCM initiative at SFSU, maybe borrowing on other projects? http://www.supplychainschool.co.uk/ Is a nice example.
