(also posted at http://corey.mbadiary.com) As mentioned in a previous post, BYU plans to double its class size over the next few years.

Unlike medicine or law, there is no governing body that regulates who can and who can’t practice business. So to a certain extent, it doesn’t matter as quite as much where you go to school. But since there is no sort of certification for practicing businesses, the place where you get your MBA is all that people have to go on to judge the adequacy of your education.
