"If you're in business, maybe middle management, what you've heard is true," Value Colleges Editor Carrie Sealey-Morris explains, "the best way for you to advance is an MBA. The schools on this list have a multitude of distinct advantages, such as career development centers; fellowships and international travel; large, loyal alumni networks; and, often, proximity to major metropolitan areas, where partnerships and connections with the corporate world afford students the potential for internships and employment. Low tuition costs and high average starting salaries mean a great return on investment, and that's what we mean by 'value.'"
