Our review
Gatton compresses the MBA into eleven months and prices it under $45,000 for residents, aimed at a state economy built on logistics (UPS Worldport sits eighty miles west), healthcare, and advanced manufacturing. Project-based consulting with local employers substitutes for a big recruiting apparatus.
