Best Answer

Well, it ain't Harvard Business School, but it seems okay. I'd check to see if they're accredited by AACSB, which isn't mentioned on their website. If you're not a Montana resident, I wouldn't pay extra to attend this school as opposed to any other. There are lots and lots of business schools.
