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

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
