Sun Jun 15, 2008 08:00 AM
Hello Everyone,
This is my first thread at this board as I really trust ur opinion in the MBA Choice.

Recently i started planning for my MBA in California, I have a friend who lives in san diego, therefore i decided to do my mba there and live with him.

So can you please advise me, which is the best MBA program (Finance or Accounting Conc) in san diego or in a city close to san Diego.

Thanks and best regards,
Almraya

Here's a couple to get you started. I don't don't know too much about them, but do a bit of looking, maybe post a few questions on specifics on here, and I'm sure you'll find something. I'll be happy to help as much as I can once you've narrowed things down a bit. These are just the ones in San Diego I found on find-mba.com. Otherwise it looks like you'll have a bit of a commute up the coast.

Careful. There have been people here who were trying to sell a program (->HKUST).

Almraya,

I was raised and educated in Southern California and can tell you that in terms of academic reputation and quality of instruction, there are really only two schools in San Diego that are of American/International standard: the University of California at San Diego (UCSD) and the University of San Diego (USD). However, you should do your research and see what these schools might be able to offer. In my opinion, San Diego is an expensive place to live and these are the only schools worth moving to the city for.

San Diego State Univ (also known as California State University, San Diego) is a government school, intended mainly for local students.

California Institute of Management is an unaccredited business that no one I know has ever heard of.

Point Loma is a local, Christian university, also with an unaccredited MBA program.

Good analysis, Kelly. UCSD and USD are definitely the best options in the area. UCSD is an amazing campus, but I think still pretty much focused on scientific research. I just had to double-check that they even had an MBA program. I'd take a look northward to LA (Irvine, UCLA, USC, Pepperdine....), even though SD is a nicer place to live. Loads of traffic in both places. Evan

Totally agree with you.
I went to USC, so I'm a bit partial to any and all of its programs. UCLA has a slightly higher ranked MBA, but people around the world will tell you that just mentioning USC opens so many doors for you. The alumni network is incredibly organized and self-serving. Big plus and well worth the extra money. My dad and brother are Pepperdine MBA's. Very good school, great value and return on investment, and extremely beautiful campus and surroundings (Malibu). Irvine provides the best education in Orange County.

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for helping to clear some of that up - I really only just strung together the first few half-decent things I could find, so it's good to have a local to say something a bit more sensible. ;)
