Top 10 1 year MBA programs

Hi,

I don't want to be away from work for long. Do you have rankings on top 1 year MBA programs ?

Thanks !

Looking for PhD in Supply Chain with special interest in Enviornment Management

I am completing my MBA in Supply Chain from Clarkson University in May 2009 and I am interested in PhD with special reference to Life Cycle Analysis and Waste Management in Supply Chain

Do you have any suggestions for Universities?

Thanks

My GPA stinks

But it makes no difference to me, I'm still applying. MBA's are a dime a dozen, though. Whether you're sporting a BMW or a Kia, you're still stuck in traffic, if you catch my drift. And to add to Murphy's Law, my friends with high GPA/GMAT can't afford an MBA let alone a mortgage, while I stare at my low GPA/GMAT but have tuition reimbursement from my employer ready to be tapped. Just shows straight A's doesn't guarantee everything. But no A's can throw you and your treasure troves under the bus. I'll do my best to get into the best B-School possible but now I understand why many of my aquaintances and co-workers opted for online degrees. Good luck to all!

what about me ????

I am also a thriving member of software community looking for admission in business school, but i am doing it by choice. Left my job purposely for this, but now the dilemma is I am no different from others who have been looking out of desperation :-(

Economics

The books are in Internet. If the finances can change as fast as the Culture is Evolutioning, We have an Economic Boom based upon the continuos superhabit Internet provide.

See you at the collective

Why would business schools be at capacity if a Marxist like Obama wins ? How much more of this is the Media going shovel?Why don't you let people in on the subject of polling data that will be used against them (i.e. job termination, tax audits , denied loans).

I strive therefore I thrive

Ray Fisher pointed out the key for wannabe students of b-school, and also national interest.

Every person is different. It completedly depends on individual plan, and absolutely the ROI.

Best Investment

what better investment is there these days than education? Stocks? Real Estate? I don't think so! The words of Ben Franklin still ring true to this day. We benefit in so many ways when we choose to educate ourselves. Perhaps if more of the American home buyers where financially literate we would not be in the current economic crises we are in. Yes, better jobs and more money is always a major consideration when looking at the ROI of an MBA, but, just as well we should include the better financial decision making and informed investing that comes from it as well. The national average of salary increase for MBA's first year out is over 40%. That pays back the cost of your degree pretty fast. That's if you apply yourself of course.
