Dan,
MBAs are pretty common these days - IMO you need something to set your self apart. Sounds like your into the marketing gig which is cool. URI is a good school. I took some grad courses there when I was working on my Bach at Salve Regina. Salve would be a cool place but it is a bit pricey. There is always Roger Williams across Mt Hope Bay. That might be pricey as well.

Don't freak over the math. Grad school for business has people taken course that haven't seen a class room in 20 years. Profs know that.

If I was giving advice to one of my kiddos and they really wanted to go to grad school to make them more market friendly I would say to get a MS or an MA in a course of study that were interested in that agumented business. If you like to write, get an english degree, if you like to crunch numbers get a math degree, if you like the humanities get a philosophy degree or if you like the sciences get a biology degree - I think you get my drift.

Business is learned in the trenches, MBA programs are for making connections and those only happen at a top tier school.
