I am wondering which MBA would be best for me as a Canadian. I have 2 universities currently short listed. The first is the local York University Schulich School of Business which would cost around 55k CAD accelerated (I have a BCOMM) and I would have to commute to it after work and on weekends for night class. The other option is the University of Massachusetts which I would do online which would cost around 40k CAD or 32k USD. I would like to pay around 50k CAD or less ideally. Schulich's ranking is better, especially within Canada but UMASS would probably be better recognized worldwide, also it would be much more convenient while working and would be an "American" degree.

Looking to get some opinions, thanks!

ttothel,

Schulich would be a better bet for you, though it is more expensive, as it is an on-campus program. Even if you are looking to work globally, Schulich would probably get you more recognition for the same reason. In case you are planning to work in Canada in the short-term and globally in the medium to long-term, it would be not just your MBA but also your job achievements and position achieved post-MBA that would hold weight and influence.

Given all of these, Schulich is a better bet in our opinion.

"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."
