E-MBA best Options

by svs1 » Sun Jul 15, 2012 3:20 pm
Hi,

I am looking for E-MBA options. I live in Australia but I have shortlisted following non-Australian schools :
1. INSEAD Global E-MBA
2. Duke Global E-MBA
3. MIT SLOAN FELLOWS PROGRAM IN INNOVATION AND GLOBAL LEADERSHIP - One year full time

I would like to get some insight on what GMAT score is required for INSEAD Global E-MBA and MIT Sloan fellows program?
MIT Sloan fellows Program is full time. Does it really make difference in education as compared to INSEAD Global E-MBA?

Are there any other good E-MBA programs which are manageable for professional in Australia ?

cheers,
SVS

There may be many options for you, but I don't quite understand your goals or limitations. When you say you are from Australia are you looking for a program that would be geographically close (like for family reasons)??? (In that case you have the schools in Singapore) Or are you concerned because you want to work in Australia. Cause to be honest, after 2 years at Stanford you can go work in Australia even if they are pretty far apart :)

Anyhow, let us know a bit more about what you want, what you need, what you expect, and we'll try and hit that nail on the head.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for your reply and Apologies for not giving enough information.

The reason I mentioned about Australia because I am interested in executive MBA from USA or some other well recognized school. Some executive MBA classes are held once in a month or fortnight. So travelling overseas every month or fortnight would be difficult.My preference would be travelling every other month or so.
Career wise,I have IT background but from last one year I have moved out of IT and I am working as a delivery lead for insurance-pricing related project. Although I have IT background,I would like to continue my career at business side in portfolio or strategy in Insurance company.
I have four years experience in India and four years experience in Australia ranging from system analyst,technical lead to delivery lead.
Education wise,I have completed Bachelor Of Computer Science and Master Of Computer Management from India. I was in top 2% of the students during my masters.
I am planning to go back to India in three to four years time so course with focus in Asian Market would be great.

At the moment I am thinking about INSEAD Global E-MBA and Duke Global E-MBA. Still not sure about MIT SLOAN FELLOWS PROGRAM IN INNOVATION AND GLOBAL LEADERSHIP.
I would like to know your advice in choosing business schools for executive MBA and average GMAT score for those schools.At the moment I am planning to apply for maximum three business schools.

Thanks,
S

Hi,
I come from a marketing background and I am currently working in singapore. But my friends are suggesting that I should take a step further and pursue an executive MBA. My concern is that is it really necessary? Will it add any value? Will it help me? I am confused at this point. Please share your inputs guys. Thank you.

Hey,
If you want to make your own place in corporate world then only a graduation degree will not work. You need to have something more. So an EMBA is a good choice. And this is something which will definitely boost your career and add value to it as well. It will really help you. All the best.

Do you really think that classroom learning is really going to help? I mean you obviously learn more on the field than in a classroom. Practically speaking why would you want to spend so much money and time on something that you already know?

I feel learning is never waste of time. I agree with you about the fact that on the job experience teaches you a lot but it does not mean traditional education has no importance. An EMBA degree will not only help in gaining more knowledge but will really take your career to the next step. Also, if there comes a point in your career when you want to switch jobs, just a graduation degree will not be very impressive on your CV. Preference will obviously be given to a person who is more qualified.

But what is the point? Experience matters. If one has a good amount of experience then i am sure that one will get the right kind of designation they deserve. I mean doing an EMBA just to put something on your CV doesn't make sense right? I might be wrong but this is what i feel.

No no you are getting me all wrong. I am not telling that you should do an EMBA just to add a mention in your CV. You know the education system has gone through many reforms. There are a lot of new things to learn. In fact the advantage of an EMBA is that whatever you learn you can actually implement it at work. You are not wasting time as it is a part time course. Yes it might be hectic but i am sure it will be worth it.

Hmmm... Well if you put it that way i somewhat agree with you.

Hey thank you guys. This conversation has really helped me. I know both the pros and cons of an EMBA now. Also, another thing i wanted to ask is that could you please suggest some decent schools which offer an EMBA?

Since you are working in singapore you obviously would want colleges there right? I was searching for universities in Singapore last year for another course that I wanted to do and I came across Nanyang and S.P. Jain global. UCLA is also not a bad option either. Check out their websites and see if they offer an EMBA.
