WOULD ANYONE KNOW INTERNATIONAL MBA PROGRAMS (IE. UNITED KINGDOM) THAT PLACES EMPHASIS ON HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT, ETC.

SECOND, IS THERE ANY MAJOR DIFFERENCE IN A U.S MBA OVER AN INTERNATIONAL MBA IN TERMS OF QUALITY, JOB PLACEMENT, ETC.

IF I GET AN MBA FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM WILL THERE BE ANY PROBLEM IN FINDING A JOB IN THE U.S.

THANKS.

If you want to work in Europe it is beeter to study in Europe. However, O do not know any school in EU that has Health Sector management concentration.

I am also from Health Sectro and want to apply to Duke.
Duke MBA is very good one for Health Sector.

I believe it is more difficult to get a job in the US with a European degree especially if you are not a US citizen. First there is the focus on American MBAs by American businesses. Second, without citizenship, it is harder to get a job due to visa requirements. You can look at the career placement statistics of the European schools you are looking at to get more details.

For anyone who will be reading this around this time... from what I hear Yale SOM is top notch in this sector. They even have a specialized Healthcare MBA
