<p>I'm looking at MBA programs in the Philadelphia area and was wondering if anyone has attended St. Joe's and can tell me a bit about it. I'm also considering Temple, Drexel and Villanova. Any help would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>According to their billboards it is better than Wharton.</p>

<p>Which is laughable.</p>

<p>As you can see through the page listed below, Saint Joseph’s University has been ranked as one of the best business schools in the nation through a variety of different programs by U.S. News and World Report. </p>

<p>[SJU</a> News | U.S. News Ranks Executive MBA No. 20 in Nation](<a href=“http://www.sju.edu/news/archives/hsb_usnews_042010.html]SJU”>http://www.sju.edu/news/archives/hsb_usnews_042010.html)</p>

<p>Saint Joseph’s is also accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).</p>

<p>SJUAdmissions: Is Haub’s MBA program really better than Wharton’s?</p>

6

<p>Not even close</p>

<p>SJU Admissions: I looked at the links. According to US News Penn has the number 1 executive MBA in the country. </p>

<p>According to Business Week, Penn has the number 2 executive MBA in the country and is not even ranked on that list.</p>

<p>Your billboard advertises “The Best Executive MBA in Philadelphia.” How is that not false advertising? Is this what higher education has come to? False claims to sell a “product”?</p>

<p>P.S. As far as traditional MBA, St. Joe’s has the 4th-ranked program in the city of Philadelphia.</p>

<p>Edit: insert St. Joseph’s in the sentence. It was supposed to read “and St. Joseph’s is not even ranked on that list.”</p>

<p>The Billboards that were placed in the Philadelphia region were posted last year, based on information from last year. The Erivan K. Haub School of Business at Saint Joseph’s University was the only local college or university to appear in the Top 25 of U.S. News & World Report’s 2010 America’s Best Graduate Schools issue for part-time MBA programs. The rankings were based on surveys of 381 accredited master’s programs in business across the United States.</p>

<p>Would you please link the source. I would like to see it and what the methodology was.</p>

<p>Is that all it took? I ask SJUAdmissions for sources to backup their claim and he/she goes into hiding. This is great. 2 1/2 months and no response and no further posts. The silence is telling!</p>
