FAQ
The questions a location hub actually has to answer.
Is this a ranking of states?
No. This hub does not rank Texas against California. Each yellow tile opens an existing state list — accredited programs in that place. The hub only routes.
Why only 33 states?
We publish a guide when we have a list. 33 states plus D.C. have one. Grey tiles are honest gaps, not coming-soon pages.
Why start with Texas, California, Illinois, and New York?
Those four have the densest job markets and the longest lists on this site. If you already know a smaller state, skip them and open that tile.
What if I am not moving?
Use an online or veterans list instead. A state page is for people who picked a place first.
Do you have city guides?
One: the seven-city MBA cities piece. We are not writing a new post per metro. Start with the state, then the city that actually hires.
