Americans
You should only consider studying abroad if you don't think
you will spend your whole career in the U.S. where
less name recognition and smaller alumni networks will not help you nearly as
much as
the American schools. Additionally, if you are not a dual citizen of the European Union, potential EU
employers may shy away from you.
Asians Who Want to Return to
Asia
While you can certainly gain a lot
from studying in the States or in Europe and gain valuable exposure to the
American or European business models, we strongly believe the Indian School of
Business (ISB)
in Hyderabad is an up and coming school that should grab
BusinessWeek's (and everyone else's attention in the near future). We are also
acutely aware that many Asian employers still place a premium value on the
American, and to a slightly lesser extent the European, MBA. Other options worth
considering include such programs as the
University of Chicago's Singapore campus.
Europeans
There are some very strong MBA programs in Europe that we
believe will only continue to grow in prestige. Two of these top schools,
INSEAD
and IMD, offer one-year programs.
If you do not believe you will need a summer
internship to assist you with your post business school career goals, these
programs may be ideal for you. We also believe EU companies will continue to
recognize and value the American MBA degree.
Canadians
Many Canadians do complete
their MBAs in the States but Canadian employers have taken increasing notice
of the fine programs available at
Ivey and Rotman.
With the one key exception of Ivey's international focus, the Canadian schools have
sadly not yet attracted much attention from non-Canadian recruiters.
Those who Wish to Work in the US after
Completing their MBAs
The prestigious name recognition and alumni
networks of the American MBAs will give you the very best chance of
future career success in the States.
