Hey guys, I'd really appreciate if you can give me any information that would help me choose between these M.A. programs, such as pros & cons, rankings, reputation, personal experiences & opinions, etc. 1. George Mason U 2. Florida Institute of Technology 3. Middle Tennessee State U 4. Minnesota State U, Mankato 5. Western Kentucky U 6. IUPUI 7. California State U, Long Beach Are any of the above programs uniquely suited to prepare me for a career in consulting? Also, what criteria are you using to evaluate your choices? Which are the most important ones to consider for an M.A.?

Can someone explain how this "tier system" works? How do people decide what is a top tier school vs. a low tier school?
