I am in Bay Area and got admit from Westcliff, Humphreys, Sofia for Fall 2025 MBA program. Given the below facts please let me know which one will be better
All the schools are accredited, the biggest difference of these 3 schools are the tuition, the onsite frequency, and if you might need to extend the length of the study or not.
Onsite 1/semester: Westcliff, Humphreys; 1/month: Sofia
Tuition: Westcliff > Humphreys & Sofia
You can extend the degree by taking one more concentrations: Westcliff & Sofia

Thanks for the response. Let’s say if I’m joining Humphrey and later if I want to extend beyond the normal time, can I transfer to Westcliff?
Yes, you can transfer, but each school has its own regulations regarding credit transfers. I strongly recommend emailing the admissions team of the school you plan to transfer to and confirming the details before making any decision.
Also, be cautious about the overall timeline of your degree. For example, if you spend 2 years at Humphreys and then transfer to Westcliff and take another 3 years to complete the same MBA, USCIS may see that as unusual. They could question why an MBA program is taking 5 years. This may increase the risk in your case, so it’s better to plan carefully and make sure your academic path is consistent and justifiable.
Thanks. How far is CPT renewal frequency important?
No CPT authorization = unable to work
So make sure you’re aware of the CPT renewal timeline
normally each school has a different frequency of cpt renewal, some are once per semester, some are once per year
