I am studying Business Administration and Management and am wondering if it is better to go for an MBA at my school (which offers a 1 year MBA program) or from a different school. I have heard mixed reviews about both. . .

It depends on the programs at those school. I don’t think it matters if you got your BS degree from that school. If the program is a GOOD one then go with it.
It’s always better to change schools. You get a different perspective, exposure to a different faculty, and different viewpoints. With a business degree, a 1 year program would ave you time, since most MBA programs are 2 years. but there are other schools with 1-year programs.
Before you consider which MBA program is for you, consult the Official MBA Guide, a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc. ), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc. ), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. Finally, you may find that staying with the same school is your best option. It’s the best service available at http://officialmbaguide. org.
The rule of thumb is to change schools. Now. . . if you’re talking a top school like Northwestern, Duke, Wharton, Harvard, Michigan, etc. . . . it won’t kill you if you’ve received both degrees in the same spot. I got my MBA from one of the above schools and had several classmates who were coming back for their second degree. . . it didn’t hurt them a bit.
The best advice I can give is to go get several years of work experience before getting your MBA. It really helps you to put your classes and cases in context and makes you much more valuable to potential employers.
