Re: MBA
I agree with both X2 and hypnotix…
In my own experience, Devry is often viewed similar to the other for profit, private schools such as Phoenix, Kennedy Western, and Kaplan. Furthermore, the negative stigma associated with online degrees aisn't going to be disappearing at least in the foreseeable future.
Also, the AACSB accreditation used to be something that only mattered to students who were considering further post graduate studies but more recently, I’ve read employment surveys where big companies like P&G, GE, and Intel have started to focus their recruiting efforts on schools that are accredited.
Overall, I would personally consider an MBA from a public/state University any day over an online MBA from Devry. This is however a never ending debate because if you play the ranking game, then Ivey grads will tell you that there’s little point in going to a state University for an MBA.
In the end, you need to take into account, your current career state and your objectives and aspirations from your MBA degree. It may just be the case that you don’t care about how popular a program or a University it, and you’re confident that your professionalism can carry you through after the MBA which may just be merely a stepping stone.
