Especially if graduates of UNC Charlotte's program do well locally. However, if you are making a dramatic switch or are interested in moving locations, than folks may or may not recognize Charlotte's name (although remember, it's your complete package that matters -- school, experience, skills, color of X5, ...).

See if you can get your hands on an alumni directory for the program from their career services department. It probably can give you an idea of where graduates go after completing the program (if you can get some type of sucess measure out of that). Maybe even see if you can get admin or career services to break down their numbers by those students who were full time vs. those who are part time. Find out who comes to recruit there. That may give you an idea of how folks view the school.

Hope this helps. Sorry if it's off base, but they were things I thought about when I selected my grad program.
