I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?

MBA is generally about being a generalist 😏

If the MBA is top 25 and the other is unranked, I'd go with top 25.

Chose top MBA, otherwise don’t do it

Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.
