Purdue MBA or Michigan State MBA

[hrist12]

Both programs seem pretty similar and the schools are virtually the same in the rankings. Well some say Purdue is better and some say Michigan State is better, but are pretty close. I am confused. At the end it might come to money and Michigan State is a little bit cheaper than Purdue, but if I know my chances of finding a job after graduation are better in Purdue I will go for it. Any thoughts? What do you know about these two schools?
I was also thinking in applying to UW- Madison.
How would you rate these 3 schools.

Purdue would be my bet or else Michigan if you want to work in Detroit.

I'm not an MBA-kindof-guy, but I would go with Purdue just because it has better brand name appeal. So for me it would be an issue of tuition vs. brand-name appeal since all of the programs you mention look good in USNews.

i would go with purdue
i spoke to some people at michigan state when i was there, and while they had only great things to say about the program and its climbing in the ranks, the recruitment is mostly from michigan companies, where purdue does have a more recognizable brand name..........unless you want to do organizational behavior, in which case MSU is the place to be

Thanks, a lot! Purdue gave me an assistanship and I am still waiting on Michigan State's admission decision, but I also think Purdue is a better choice. It is close to Chicago and Indianapolis and the program is consistently in the top 30.

Honestly Michigan State is a great program. Not to make it difficult but I would choose MS
