Philly area MBAs, Temple Fox, Villanova, or Drexel

I am in the process of making decision between Temple, villanova and drexel MBA programs Villanova and Drexel are both two year co-hort programs.

My intention of getting an MBA is to move up in my own engineering company or possibly transfer to corporate business (not intending to transition to banking, etc.)

I believe the quality of education between all three b schools would be fairly similar however as I may live outside of region in future (midwest or westcoast), my major concern is which one would appear better on my resume.

Others in the area have told me that they think Nova has better reputation but most ranking agencies do not rank their MBA whereas Temple being ranked in 30-50 range.

I would be pleased to hear everyone's thought on this.

 

As previously stated, Nova has a better reputation but Temple is currently ranked higher. But really they are both very comparable. It will have to come down to which program you like better, or even fits your better. Weigh logistical factors, such as class schedules and commuting to campus from work, As far as a possible west cost transition, do you have any firms targeted? Do some research, perhaps one of the schools has alumni in the ranks of a coveted west coast firm.
