Chinese MBA
In light of all this anti-MBA sentiment of late (opportunity costs, dime a dozen, blah blah), here’s one MBA that definitely has a defined purpose that can set you apart from all the others. If your headed towards a career in Asia, then it’d probably be a good idea to get your MBA in China. China Europe International Business School (CEIBS), based in Shanghai, is probably the place to go. It was ranked 11th in business schools worldwide by FT.com. Adding this MBA to your stockpile of degrees would be a great way to leverage your international background and transition your career to Asia. Here’s a description from CEIBS MBA site:
“CEIBS offers a world-class, 18-month, full-time MBA programme taught in English and designed to prepare talented young people with career aspiration, managerial potential, and international orientation for a career of global business leaders in the future.
