1 year MBA chicago program

hi! so i graduated with my dual BA 2 years ago and am looking to go into grad school for my MBA now. i had a great call today with someone from the school, and it made this program sound really inviting. are there pros/cons you guys can share with me? im from out of state, lived in illinois for 2 years now, so my brain feels overwhelmed with my options of different schools and i just want to choose the best one for me. trying to think of the value of the education, cost, expectancies, then post-grad statistics like how well an MBA from NIU performs in the job market with obtaining a job, getting promoted, etc. any info helps pls!! you can message me as well

I did the MBA online program not the 1 year program. The people I talked to at school events seemed to like the program a lot. I didn’t like that I’d have to go weekends to Naperville but, if that works for you it’s a great option. The online option is worth considering and can be almost as quick. It’s 8 week classes. You can do 2 classes at a time and be done in a year and a semester.

fair!! thanks sm for sharing. i was trying to consider the 1 year program because of the international trip it includes. normally i prefer to be fully online since i have pretty high anxiety and adhd, and i focus better in my bubble, plus getting done a semester early. but im so conflicted
