The primary factors to consider when looking for a business school are:

• Is the degree you want (e.g., MBA, MAcc, EMBA) is offered?
  
  
• Is the tuition is affordable?
  
  
• Have the school's graduates have been successful in landing the types of jobs you'd like to land yourself? (Often the Office of Career Services will have detailed statistics available.)
  
  
• Is the curriculum as broadly or as narrowly focused (or is it as flexible) as you'd like?
  
  
• Does the class schedule provide the degree of flexibility you'll need in order to meet your other commitments?
  
  
• Do the accommodations (classrooms, media centers, libraries, housing facilities, etc.) meet your needs?
  
  
• Is the school known for the high quality of its programs and graduates (rankings lists are can help you determine this; however, even if a business school isn't top-ranked, it can still have a good reputation.)?
  
  
• Does the faculty possess extensive education and are its members considered to be leaders in their fields?
  
  
• Small class sizes (i.e., low student:teacher ratio).
  
  
• Are the professors committed to teaching and are they available outside of class?
  
  
• Does the school have a Career Placement office that actively works to assist graduates in finding internships and jobs?

Evaluating a Business School

• Read through their web sites or promotional material.
  
  
• Visit the school.
  
  
• Sit in on classes.
  
  
• Speak with students and faculty.
  
  
• Speak with graduates of the school.
  
  
• If you know which companies you're interested in working for, talk to them, or read through their web sites to find out what business schools and what types of programs they tend to hire from.
  
  
• Look over the curriculum of the program you're interested in, then consult the school's catalog to study the relevant course descriptions.
