Duke - LSE - LBS

by beatthegre » Tue Jan 11, 2011 9:05 am
I am interested in comparing the following programs>
Duke MMS - LBS MiM - LSE MSc Management (2yrs)

Criteria:
1) alumni network - global reach - especially China based consulting work
2) future career prospects - how far the name carries one
3) business fundamentals - theoretical, technical knowledge - hard skills

Career prospects are mainly working in the US/China in MNCs

I don't think you can go wrong with any of those programs!! I'm not as familiar with reach in China, but, the programs you have listed are all top notch with strong alumni networks and global reaches.

Good luck!

Thank you for the help.

One quick sidenote - I am only a little stressed about LSE Management, as it is 2 years long and I am not sure it gives as strong alumni network and career services as the other schools, as LSE is not stricktly a business school and its management department is new. However, it is better known in the world than LBS, but not as much as Duke I'd presume.

But, Duke is in Durham..while London is the center of global business w NY..
Hard choices.
