Options for masters / MBA program in Bay Area

My wife is looking to do masters in business analytics or MBA while I work in Bay Area . Shes is currently working on h1b in USA since last 5 yrs. Apart from Stanford , Berkeley what are choices available? Are the San Clara university, San Jose state , San Fran state, UC Davis etc very tough to get into ? How much should I be shelling out for these on average?

Scu, sjsu, and sfsu are easy to get into. UC Davis is a whole different level for masters. I went to Davis for bachelors, now I am at SCU for masters because i am planning in working in the area as well. Cant say for sure how much business units cost, but engineering at SCU is roughly $1k a unit for 45 units. ~$45k-50k

I’m curious, what do you mean by different level? I’m not very familiar with UC Davis masters, I have a friend who did undergrad there, but one data point doesn’t count haha.

For engineering at least, UCDavis Masters is MUCH harder to get into when compared to sfsu scu and sjsu. For reference, i did EE at UCDavis for undergrad, had a combined gre of 334, 3.7 gpa, 3 letters of rec (one of them being a professor at Davis) and I still didnt get in. Then again, if your wife is planning on doing an MBA, I cannot say for sure that my comparison applies to hers
