I believe choosing US b-school will be more advantageous if your end goal is working in US only.
But to seek experts' advice.

Hi dipti23 My name is Shimri Winters from ARINGO. ARINGO has a dedicated EMBA team that works with about 30 EMBAs each year. I am assuming you are based in Europe and are comparing the Kellogg-WHU EMBA Program vs. IESE EMBA (let me know if otherwise!)? IESE is a great European brand and school. and Kellogg is a great US brand school. The Kellogg-WHU EMBA Program does give you a bit of both worlds and it does give you the Kellogg brand which s stronger in the US. Which other programs should you consider? - EMBA-Global (Columbia / LBS) - Trium (HEC / NYU) - Chicago Booth EMBA program (London Campus) but all three cost more... Happy to answer specific questions and perhaps work together on some stellar EMBA applications. I can be reached at shimriw@ARINGO.com GOOD LUCK!

dipti23  and  yashikaaggarwal :

Yes, generally speaking if you want to work in the US, you are better off with a US-based program. The resources and recruiting opportunities are infinitely better than for a non-US-based school. Plus, it sends a clear message to recruiters if you are already in the US for school that you want to continue there.

Is there a reason you would think otherwise?

I am an IESE graduate and did my MBA exchange at Kellogg. In terms of quality of education, they are both great and would be very difficult for me to say which one is better.

However, if your goal is to stay in the US and you are not US national (I assume), then your only option is going to Kellogg. I don't know anybody Non-American from my IESE class who ended up working in the US. Basically, it is extremely difficult to get a working visa to work in the US, unless you have earned a degree there. I only know of cases who ended up working in the US after spending a few years in Europe and being rellocated by companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc.
