There are many good ones and some are best in one field while others are best in another. What is best for you is the school in which you fit best, one that satisfies your criteria and preferences. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree., Some accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. But in those programs you don't get the benefit of learning from other students who have work experience. A lot of valuable learning takes place through class interaction. Before you decide on an MBA program explore the Internet for information on available programs. There is a lot of information available. Some sites are limited to specific countries, such as Germany, UK, or Australia. There is a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. The nice thing is that it allows you to find the program that best fits you. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status look for AACSB accreditation or at least AACSB membership), tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, joint degrees such as MBA/JD, and much more. You can use it to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre-applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. some of the other sites are less comprehensive, but all are useful.

Dear Cassie D, The link below is a list of the top MBA programs in the United States. Normally, Harvard University is ranked as the top university in the world. However, there are certain European universities that also traditionally get ranked very high. The London School of Economics and INSEAD have very strong reputations. In the United States, Stanford, Wharton, Harvard University, and the University of Chicago are a few of the top MBA programs. http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/rankings/ Please feel free to reach out if I can be of more help.

There is no such MBA. Universities don't grant MBA in information systems, or MBA in finance, or MBA in international business. They grant the degree Master in Business Administration, or they offer the MS in finance, MS in marketing, etc. The MBA is a general degree preparing students for management positions in any level of a business, up to CEO. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, management, statistics, economics, strategy, policy, and other courses. Many MBA programs offer concentrations in these and many other fields, but that amounts to only 2-3 courses in your chosen field in the second year of study. Many students avoid a concentration and take a variety of elective subjects to gain a broader background. By the time you finish the first year you'll be able to decide which concentration interests you. You don't become a specialist in a field with 2-3 courses. It generally takes a year of concentrated study. The MBA is not like an MS degree that concentrates study in a single field and prepares students for high level staff or research positions. The MS typically requires an undergraduate education in the field in which you want the MS, or a closely related field. A finance major does not get an MS in chemistry, and a biology major does not get an MS in accounting. If you want to specialize in a particular field other than business administration, such as finance, marketing, operations management, human resource management, or a non-business field such as public health, or public administration, you should get an MS degree in that specialization. MBA programs accept students in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business background because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. I have taught MBA students with degrees in Music, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Psychology, Political Science, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, and many other fields. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree, but some accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. No one should consider an MBA program without consulting the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs.

MBA or general Master of Business
MBA or general Master of Business?
I could do an MBA in the States, but since I don't have that much experience, the school would not be that good. Maybe tier 4 or tier 3 max. Was also looking at a general Masters in the business field, not an MBA. The schools I could do that general Masters of Business are ranked much better, but I am not sure how a general Masters of Business will be perceived. It's in particular the Maters of International Business I would be interested in. What should I do? Note, I do not have that much work experience and I don't live in the USA. It is impossible for me to find jobs in my country as there are absolutely none. So no experience I would be able to add for the time to come I think.

If you're willing to move to the U.S. anyway, then look for jobs somewhere else. A general masters in business won't help you enough to be worth the expense, and employers are still going to want to see the work experience when you're done. (You might consider another internationally-focused degree, though.)

I don't personally have a degree in that field, but I don't see why not providing that one has the right prereq's as well as an awesome gpa (grade point average) and graduate management admission test (gmat) score that the master's degree program requires. For US colleges: www.utexas.edu/world/univ

Hi, I am an Overseas Education Counsellor. As regards setting up abroad lot of young students want to do that but best bet to settle abroad is take up a local education. I would recommend you pursue a degree in international business from France and you can settle down there. France is the heart of Europe and easily accessible to all countries. French language is spoken by 60% of European Population. Many Non European companies look for candidates from local area who can work for them in European Countries. Corporates always look to recruit candidates from local geographical region as it saves them relocation costs and above all they dont have to worry about an employee getting adapted to a new culture and environment. A local recruit means cutting down a lot of costs and reducing lot of hassles. As i can see you already know european languages you will not find it difficult migrating to Europe. So better off if you want pursue a management degree in France and then you can easily get a job. If you want we can facilitate to process your application with one of partner institutions we promote. Regards Rohan
