Does it matter where I get my CLS degree from?

I am considering two CLS master's programs. One is through a big name hospital that everyone in Chicago knows (RUSH). The other is through a medical school in the area that people outside of medicine have probably never heard of (Rosalind Franklin University). Both programs are acreddited. As long as the school is acreddited and I take and pass the exams, does it really matter where I get my degree from? Any feedback would be appreciated.

In my opinion, I don't think it does. As long as you pass your ASCP employers won't care. I'd recommend going to a cheaper school because student loans suck.

Amen. That is why I chose CSUDH's post-bacch CLS program. Besides, I heard as long as you pass your boards in the end, you're good to go. Anyway, wish me luck, I am starting this fall...if my Financial aid kicks in of course...
