Experience during the program

The University of Wisconsin's Full Time MBA Program is by far the best bang for your buck. The cost of tuition at Wisconsin is a fraction of what you would pay at any other top school and you will still receive a great experience. In particular, the Real Estate MBA program offers the best education and network for anyone trying to get themselves into the commercial real estate industry. I was able to transition from a corporate finance career into the commercial real estate industry with ease and one of the biggest reasons why I was able to do that was because of the history of the program and the large real estate alumni network. The current curriculum and faculty is going through some change as other schools are starting up real estate programs to compete with Wisconsin. However, nothing will beat Wisconsin's Real Estate Alumni Association and new applicants should heavily factor this into their decisions because overall business school rankings will not factor this in.
