Hi,

I think you should pick ASU if program length is not a concern, otherwise UTDs MS BA.

ASU:
ASU MS BA is a fantastic programme offered by WP Carey School, one of the best business schools in the United States. Many top companies have recruiters and HRs who attended WP Carey School, so when hiring, they consider your school, and if you attend ASU, they may favour you. However, the program is short i.e of 9-12 months. So if lenght is not a concern definitely consider ASU as your top choice. Alumni network is also great so networking with folks will be easy. Arizona is close to Cali and Arizona is also one of the top upcoming tech destinations.

UTD:
UTD MS BA is offered by Jindal School of Mgmt which is also a decent B school in the US. It has a good reputation and alumni network as well. Courses offered in the MS BA program is also has a good mix of different specializations. Mix of tech and mgmt courses makes you eligible to apply for tech and business basically both kind of roles. Good location since Dallas is an upcoming tech hub. The main disadvantage with UTD is the batch size. The intake is high. There are a lot of international students. The competition for oncampus jobs is insane.

Rankings, Reputation, Location, Alumni Network wise ASSU has an edge over UTD. I would suggest to go with ASU MS BA.

Hi, Shreyas.

You can compare the curriculums, concentration, electives and location of the particular program offered by the respective universities for which you would want to apply, as they might the most significant factors in your decision-making process. Also, reach out to the alumnis of the program of your choice, on LinkedIn, as some of them might reply to you. Additionally, you can go through the popular rankings websites such 'QS RANKINGS 2022', 'US NEWS RANKINGS 2022', 'TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION RANKINGS 2022' and 'Forbes US University Rankings 2021'. Also, you should consider the factors such as 'Cost of living', 'Year-round weather conditions', 'CPT & OPT opportunities that maybe offered by the university'. Also, you can contact the college representatives via the email id and/or contact number on the respective program page, department page or university website. Hope this helps you to get better clarity than before.
All The Best!!!👍🏻
