Everyone knows that when choosing an MBA program, we look at rankings. Why not, right? It is a very important financial investment after all. True, but with Pepperdine the story is a little bit different.
Our program does not usually show up on the traditional rankings lists. That is also because we are a smaller program and we do not focus primarily on research. Research is important and a big class brings more profit, that is true. But at Graziadio a smaller class is more important because it gives the student the opportunity to get to know absolutely every single classmate. Our professors know our names by class two and make an effort to get to know us. Their doors are always open and we can stop by anytime to ask about the class or talk about our career goals. And depending on your personal drivers and point in your career, access to professors and classmates can be more appealing than a cut-throat environment where the emphasis is on individual performance.
Apparently this is also what the Wall Street Journal looked at on when they selected some MBA programs that did not make the cut for their ranking, but were highly regarded by students and alumni. Read the article here.
