Question by Prime: Has anyone heard about the quality of Mercer Universities MBA program?
:
Getting an MBA from a ranked B-School can open a lot of doors for you and greatly increase your salary. Getting an MBA from an unranked school wont do much more for you than a BS in Business.
Mercers MBA program is not ranked. It is not worth it to quit work to get an MBA full time. It might add value if you keep working and get a part time MBA especially if somone else is paying for it.
Dont expect an MBA from Mercer to create a lot of opportunities for you.

As you can see there are many different ways to rate and rank colleges. You have to choose the criteria that are most important to you when you are choosing a school. What makes a college or university the best choice for you does not make it the best choice for your friend, cousin, or another student. This is why it is important to research schools that fit into the criteria that you set and demand. Once you are able to narrow down your choices based on your own criteria, you will find yourself with a much shorter list of college options to make a more educated decision on which one is best for you, your personal goals, and your professional goals.
