Hello Friends,
I have to choose between Mannheim MBA and Virginia Tech, Pamplin MBA. I am not able to decide which one will be better for job prospects post MBA.
Pros of Mannheim : 1) Ranked among top European B schools.
2) Located near the Business district of Germany
3) 1 year program.
Cons : 1) I have to pay all the expense from my packet (around $40,000 is only tuition)
2) I am not sure whether the program is well known outside Europe, if my goal is to work outside Germany in long term.
3) Knowledge of German is kind of necessary to get a ob post MBA.
Pros of Pamplin : 1) Located in US, and the Virginia Tech is well known, outside US as well.
2)Got half assistantship, so the remaining expense is manageable.
Cons : 1)Not a highly ranked program in US.
2)average exp. of classmates is around 2 years, while my work exp. is more than 5 yrs.
3) 2 years program
Please suggest / give inputs on this.
Thanks a lot.
