Our review
Ourso serves the petrochemical corridor that lines the lower Mississippi: ExxonMobil’s Baton Rouge complex, the LNG build-out, the contractors in between. The flexible MBA lets plant engineers add management credentials without leaving shift work, which is precisely how the local industry promotes.
