Rankings for international business programs??

by witwiyl » Wed Jul 09, 2008 10:03 am
I'm trying to find the best (or at least ranked) mba programs for international business. I can't seem to find this anywhere. I've heard of places where you can sort the schools based on your own criteria, but I can't find that online either. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Oh wow, thanks!

You know what, right after I posted my message, I found that you could sort by speciality on the US news and world rankings site. haha.
But when I did it for international business, I got a different list.....hmmm, where do you get yours from?

I got this: https://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandr ... _inter_bus

I'm interested in doing business in Latin America, and I felt that the best way to get that focus was to do my electives in Latin America. I just returned from Monterrey, Mexico last week where I spent a trimester at EGADE, Latin America's best business school.

I highly recommend considering either a study abroad or a dual MBA program (I know USD and Thunderbird offer joint programs with EGADE, for instance) if you would like to do business abroad. In my opinion, the experiences of working in international teams, taking classes with professors that have a different teaching style than I am used to, and working with companies and non-profits in a foreign country were all experiences that taught me lessons I could have never gotten out of a class in the US. It was simply experiential learning. I feel like it was better to experience the kind of frustrations I did (and learn from these!) in school than in an actual work experience.

I think my classmates would agree. ; )

Best wishes,

Tatiana
