I am considering going to west Texas a&m or fort hays state or possibly southeast Missouri. Cost was a huge factor in narrowing down my choice as well as the online degrees. I plan to major in business admin or accounting. I’m unsure which would be better as far as reputation goes. Does west Texas a&m carry the same reputation as Texas a&m? If I were to graduate from there would I put west Texas a&m or just Texas a&m? How much does the average employer really care where you went to school?
I would choose whichever school you feel better about as far as finances and your prospective business/accounting program. The reputation for both schools is about the same, and employers will know that West Texas A&M is different from Texas A&M. To answer your last question, that often depends on what you accomplish in college, as well as the type of work that you’re looking for after college.
