This MBA is expensive BUT in this case I think you get what you pay for. First, this MBA is AACSB accredited and that is something top employers look for in a competitive business environment. Second, in a national objective exam students enrolled in the iMBA program at Penn State's World Campus scored in the top 5 percent. The exam, the ETS Master of Business Administration (MBA) Major Field Test, is a comprehensive national assessment for program evaluation. All 59 students from the Spring 2009 cohort of the iMBA online program, who graduated on Dec. 18, 2010, earned a mean test score that placed the Penn State iMBA Program in the 95th percentile, the highest possible category, of 130 institutions nationwide. Last, but not least, Penn State is well respected residential university that has been highly ranked and regarded by academics and employees for 100+ years. There are times when paying more is worth it in terms of job placement and recognition and that is true at Penn.
