Hi guys,
I am an international student in the US, NY with F-1 and I got admitted to 2 schools.
UC, Riverside Full-Time MBA
Babson Olin One Year MBA (no internship)
Both are STEM-eligible.

Babson seems attractive to me but it doesn't have an internship option.

I would like to ask, I have an engineering background and have 12 years of work experience in business development, sales, and consulting(all are outside of the US). I want to continue my career in marketing. I am not quite sure when looking at my work experience, whether working in marketing would be a career change. At this point, how could not doing an internship affect me to get a job?

Regardless of the cost of these 2 schools, which one would be the best fit?

Thank you.

There is a highly chance to get better response if you ask your query to the following link-admission consultants are available there.

When you are planning to continue in the same domain, with a huge 12 years of experience, internship doesn't change anything in your profile. So, Babson would be a better option.

I agree with you. My work experience can cover up an internship. But without an internship I have to find a job right away after the graduation.
Study, build a network and search for a job in one year. Bc if I am not wrong I have to find a job in 60 days after graduation or less than that.
Also, I do not know how companies approach for one-year MBA and Babson.
