Northeastern University MBA  v/s Baruch college - Zicklin School of Business

My profile is mainly relating to finance

Education:
Bachelor of Commerce
Chartered Accountancy course from India
Chartered financial analyst USA
Financial risk Manager USA

Post MBA career role-financial analyst. Prior work experience of working in Big 4 - Ernst & Young and PWC.

Which school to choose considering that Northeastern MBA offers guaranteed corporate Residency Program, but as New York is a finance job will have more opportunity in financial service sector if I go to zicklin school of business?

Baruch tution fee - $47500
Northeastern tution fee - $30000

Please advise.

With the certifications you have, you should not need an MBA to move into a Financial Analyst role. I would honestly save the cash and work on networking and trying to move into a FA role.

No both of them are not STEM designated. Northeastern MBA offers guaranteed internship i.e. Corporate Residency Program

As mentioned previously, I don’t think you need to do full time. Picking between those two depends on where you want to be. Northeastern will help you place in Boston and Baruch in NY. Northeastern is probably slightly more well known as a university but both are going to be primarily known in their respective cities.

If you still decide To forgo going full time, you would have to network and then could complete a part time mba if you want to fine tune some skills.

I agree with the earlier advice.

Meet new people and network into a new job. LinkedIn. Corporate recruiters. Etc.

Once you're in, if you still want an MBA, you can get one then.

PS - If you still decide to go to get an MBA, find out whether or not the Corporate Residency Program guarantees you an internship in the industry and function you want? I don't know the program, but you don't want to be assigned to accounts receivable collections in an advertising agency ... or janitorial services at a bank. Function and industry ... both.
