A couple of B-School Articles
Businessweek published in its most recent issue an article, "B-Schools with a Niche," on MBA programs developing more highly focused, specialty degrees. Businessweek points out that it tends to be the second-tier schools that are pursuing this route in response to the application decline of the last three years.
If you can gain acceptance to a top-tier school that supports your specific goals, then your are probably better off aiming for that top- tier school. However, if you cannot get in, then a specialty program may be exactly what you need. See if the specialty program will get you where you want to go professionally. It could be an excellent option.
Business 2.0 this month has a b-school ROI survey. It is not nearly as extensive as Forbes', but still worth a look.
