Very cool. They should use some of that money to give the main buildings updates. Outside of the Kitt Center / BIC & new energy center the classrooms and study rooms are old.

more scholarships is the ONLY thing that should be used on. Need to buy better MBA students.

Wonder why Cox won't report the actual figure when places like Chicago and Johns Hopkins are shown in the comments section providing detailed follow-up.

Just heard that there was a 23% drop in GMAT exams administered between 2011 and 2015. That's tough on MBA admissions, especially expensive ones that are trying to grow.

because MBAs are a dime a dozen and business don't care if you have one unless it's from a notable school.

Agree on the last part. A Wharton MBA will open a lot of doors. A Cox MBA will open quite a few. A UNT MBA won't get you far.

People want one year grad programs right after undergrad vs 2 year (FT MBA) or 3 year (Law) programs?

Not reputable business school would allow a one year program for someone who is fresh out of undergrad. That is not a real MBA. Most decent schools require a few years of experience so you bring a bit more to the table. If you are going to do something right after undergrad, get your masters in finance, or accounting or commercial real estate - but don't try to call it an MBA because you will fool nobody.
