If its undergrad, it doesn't matter. Just choose the school he'll like the most

Apparently North Texas has a fast track MBA program where he can get his MBA in 5 years...

MBA work best for everyone when there is 3-5 years work experience.

My BIL went direct to an MBA and it was hard for him to find a job

Yup. You go to a place like BYU and they throw jobs at you.

#3 - I help teach a class at their business school. Brand new building too.

2/15/19 10:02pm

But Richbyu is right. For undergrad it doesn't matter much.

2/15/19 10:04pm

I’d choose #3 if all is equal. OSU’s business school is real nice.....

None. Undergrad...work for a few years...get work to pay for an MBA.

Find out the jobs that their grads are getting. Which companies are coming to campus to interview and how many

I’d encourage my son to go to Tech out of those three
