Greetings. I wonder if anybody can help me form a list of top few MBA programmes in the Western states of the USA. I think mainly of California, Oregon, Arizona and Wahsington. Thanks a bunch! Milly

Hi Milly...I think in California, we're probably talking about some of the UC (University of California) schools, Pepperdine, Stanford. But not sure everyone would agree. :-)

oh, and santa clara too. I could i forget?!

Thanks! Any ideas about Oregon, Washington, or Arizona? Would be thankful for your opinions.

hi milly. let's not forget about U. of Washington in Seattle, which is a top MBA program. Arizona and Arizona State are also supposed to have solid business programs. Not sure at all about Oregon.

about California, i would pretty much agree with the above listing, but i would also add the marshall school at USC, and perhaps specifiy that UCLA and UC Berkeley both have world class programs.

list is good so far, but i see univesrity of california in irvine is also a high ranked school for somethings. anybody know where the best sunshine is ? :)

anybody know where the best sunshine is ? :)

As I just posted in another thread, UCLA Anderson has a very good reputation. The Economist even ranks it among the top 20 MBA programs worldwide (see http://mba.eiu.com/index.asp?layout=2002rankings&rank_category_id=20000002)

UCLA should be the best bet...
