<p>I am in accelerated MBA program at a small Jesuit School, the University of Scranton in PA.</p>
<p>Am I at a disadvantage for jobs say near Philadelphia or out of state because I didn't get my MBA from a "top" school. Their program is pretty good here... but I fear because it is a smaller school I'll be at a disadvantage when it comes to jobs...</p>
<p>Have you decided yet? Small class is beneficial for academic study=]</p>
<p>What you need to be looking for is the accreditation AACSB.</p>
<p>It is a garantee that the program is serious and the HR will see that you received good education.</p>
<p>Lots of online school and private school are not accredited.
The name of the school matters only if you are in one of the top40-50 schools</p>
<p>Scranton’s MBA is AACSB accredited.</p>
<p>Mixture can also try to network through alumni. We have found them to be very helpful to fellow Scranton students/graduates and there are probably many in Philadelphia area. He/she can contact the alumni office for help.</p>

<p>Are you attending this school straight out of college? Do you have any full-time job experience?</p>
<p>In your case, your previous or lack of job experience matters more.</p>
