Research Excellence Vs Academic Excellence The Degree Does the school offer the type of degree and program that you want? Nowadays there are many different options. You can now choose from two-year MBA programs, one-year MBA programs, Executive MBA programs, part-time MBA programs, and distance education MBA programs. The Cost Business school tuition can be very costly and should be carefully considered before applying. Decide how much you are prepared to pay for your education and look into schools that fit into the financial parameter that you set. Keep in mind other expenses for the area such as cost of living and commuting. The Curriculum Many schools are now discouraging specializing in only one aspect of business. A general management perspective has been adopted as a result. However, concentration should still be considered. For example, if you are interested in marketing, choose a school that has an outstanding marketing program. Choose Your MBA by Evaluating B Schools on 10 Key Parameters The Size Assess your preferences. Are you interested in individualized attention? If so, it may be better for you to choose a school with small class sizes and a low student-to-teacher ratio. The Reputation However, the MBA is analyzed and ranked by more organizations than any other academic degree. These ranking can help you determine which schools are the most prestigious. Keep in mind though, even if a school is not top-ranked, it can still have a good reputation. The Exclusiveness Some business schools are very selective. They may only admit a small number of students into their program, making the application process very competitive. To help assess your chances, match your background (GPA, test scores, etc.) with the school’s admittance record. The Placement Statistics Students usually pursue an MBA to enhance their future career options. Therefore, choosing a school with a good placement record is important. Most business schools will willingly supply placement statistics to interested applicants. Checking recruiter records and speaking with former graduates of the school will also give you further insight. Learning More About a Program If you are interested in learning more about the different business programs that are out there, you can visit one of the many different degree search portals that can be found online. Two good portals to try are: Faculty: The vision and excellence of the faculty not just in terms of academic qualification but also in researches carried out, papers published, projects undertaken. While considering faculty, one has to look for the number of permanent faculty, the experience of faculty , their experience, and their business knowledge. Alumni Strength: The positions occupied in the echelons of management in the corporate world by the alumni give an ample evidence of the local standing of the school. This goodwill or confidence gets translated into better placements.
