What Recent Grads Say See All 6 Comments >

It is a value program that produces value graduates. Tuition is very reasonable and the program attracts quality talent. The program is relatively young and still somewhat under the radar. Because of this, employers get a good value from our students. Jenkins MBA students tend to be hard workers who can immediately contribute at salaries that aren't inflated by brand name perceptions of more established schools.
