<p>St. Thomas does have a number of subareas of Business Administration, including one called Operations Management:

<p>Michigan’s $120,000 (for four years) premium over St. Thomas is a lot, and not realistic if cost is a significant concern. St. Thomas for under $20,000 (for four years) seems like the obvious choice if it is a decent fit (academically and otherwise). Drake would be about $32,000 (for four years) more – probably worth checking if she is not completely sold on St. Thomas, but that is still a significant cost difference.</p>
<p>Michigan’s larger size and reputation will likely attract more recruiters to its career center. You may want to ask each school’s career center who visits. Students at smaller schools may have to be more aggressive at seeking internships and jobs (not a huge price to pay in exchange for spending $120,000 less).</p>
<p>Any reason she did not apply to Minnesota public schools?</p>
<p>She is Catholic or ok with the Catholic nature of St. Thomas, including the Faith and Catholic Tradition requirement, right?
