So the name thing is a fairly significant factor? I'm not looking to hang my hat on this degree as it's just a stepping stone to a relatively local graduate program I'm interested in. Does it still matter as much?

I have looked at local colleges. The college I work at has a number of undergraduate programs, just not anything I could see myself doing. The closest university that offers...well, anything even remotely interesting is about 2 hours away. I guess that isn't that bad, but I thought I'd explore other avenues before committing to that kind of commute four days a week.


By the way, thanks for the replies.
