Hello,
I would like to have your opinion on this choice. I was accepted to the Master in Management at HEC Paris (ranked MIM in Europe) and to a Master in Technology Management (School of professional studies) at Columbia University in New York.
I have a hard time choosing. HEC is very well known in Europe and the Master in Management is the flagship program of this school. The master in Technology Management at Columbia is not part of the business school that offers MBAs (need 2+ years of experience, which I did not have). The MiM at HEC is in two years, with a specialization in the second year and exchanges abroad. The master in Technology Management lasts 1 year.
In terms of recognition, course quality and career opportunities, which program would you recommend?
Many thanks

Hello,
First, both schools have a solide reputation and I don't think there is a bad choice.
If you want to work in France, I would choose HEC as it is the top business school in the country and very well ranked.
If you want an intentional career, especially outside Europe, I would choose Columbia. I don't think you will ever meet someone who has never heard of Columbia. While HEC is not that famous outside Europe. Hence, another key point to consider is whether you talk French, as it is very important to work in France and therefore choose HEC.
In term of course quality, I don't really know but I think both schools should have interesting courses.

I agree with the comments from the last post. The most important way to decide here is to rank your priorities as you have noted: recognition, course quality, and career opportunities. Perhaps there are others as well that matter to you? Campus, culture, etc.? I do think that geography is probably the biggest differentiator.
After building this rank-ordered list, I would attend any admitted student welcome events (in-person or virtually) and ask specific questions geared at grading these criteria at HEC and Columbia. Maybe you build a composite score? Reflect on your scores/grades and keep going back and forth until you are able to develop a gut feeling. That's one of the best (psychological) way to do it.
Congrats on both acceptances!
