Hi all,
I got admitted to Chicago Booth Executive MBA and I have to decide whether I want to take part to the program.
I have a PhD in computer science and I recently relocated to Zurich (Switzerland) after living and working several years in Netherlands.
How is an EMBA from Chicago Booth seen in Switzerland? Is it better to attend a local program like the St. Gallen EMBA or is it better to attend a highly ranked school like Chicago Booth?
Kindly advice based on your learning and experience that what is the best track to choose. Your valued input would help me a lot!
Please, have your say
Thank you very much,
Roberta
Hi! Congrats on getting admitted.
I know a person who graduated from Booth and works in Switzerland.
St. Gallen's EMBA is one of the top in Switzerland, and knowing from personal experience, Swiss people tend to value more their own products, universities, people. If you plan to continue working in Switzerland, I believe it will be a good choice; plus you will not spend much on traveling to/from Campus.
On the other hand, Booth is better ranked, and you should not have problems getting anywhere with a degree from Booth.
Moreover, what campus did you apply for Booth? I know they have one in London, which is much closer to Zurich than Chicago is.
