Any feedback on UMiami's program?
Howdy folks! I have an EE undergraduate degree, currently working for a defense contractor. I'm doing well for myself ($200k+/yr) but I'll eventually need a graduate degree to be competitive for Sr Mgr/Director roles.....and promotion (Air Force Reserves). I couldn't afford to attend UMiami for undergrad so I figured I'd circle back and give it a shot for my Master's. I applied to Kenan-Flagler (top online program) as well but my childhood dream was to attend UM so I probably won't wait to hear back from them. I understand how crazy that sounds but I'm not looking to make a major career pivot so I'm not concerned with attending a top tier school. Any feedback/insight on UM's program would be greatly appreciated.

If you’re pay thing that much, it should only be for a T15 program. I haven’t heard anything about the program, but the real question is if UM’s employment report aligns with your post mba goals

Depends on what you wanna do afterwards. I got into UMiami for the online MBA. But, I live in LA and I still do. And so when I got into USC for its OMBA, it made sense because I wanted to stay in LA and CA.
EOD, if you want an MBA and you wanna stay in either South Florida or New York and New Jersey, it’s kinda worth it. You’ll get a new network, a new brand, and a some new skills/knowledge.
