Hello,

Hello,

Recently, I came across a dual program at Johns Hopkins university. This is a dual program called "MA Government / MBA" program.
MA government can be taken at Zanvyl Kreiger School of Arts and Science of JHU and MBA can be taken at Carey Business school of JHU.

Could an expert share their views about this program ?

Here is the link that might help you:

Is this competitive enough ? Can one get a job if an applicant decides to pursue this program as a full-time student ?

Regards,
Sarah.

Hi, and thank you for your inquiry.

While Johns Hopkins is an excellent university, I have to admit that despite all my experience in the field, I did not even know that they offered an MBA. I went to their site and it looks like the program is a brand new one, which has its advantages and disadvantages. Recruiters won't be familiar with it and there is no alumni network to help, but at the same time, the administration itself might be more focused on trying to make sure students have excellent experiences and find jobs. At a very high level my instict from JHU's reputation and looking at the website is that it is a program with a lot of potential, but making the decision to go into a program's first class would require a lot of research, thought, and discussion with the school.

Best of luck.

"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."
