MBA! :wink:

Locally naman, maganda sa AIM. I have a friend who studied there and he spend around 1M, but that was 6 years ago. I am not sure now kung magkano abutin mo :?

They have foreign students as well and recognized internationally, so magagamit mo rin yung pangalan nila if you work abroad or if you migrate later on.

As what they've said, it's best if you have at least two years experience :wink:

MBA is the way! :mrgreen:

accdg to my research kung dito sa pinas:

1. AIM - no questions asked, if you can afford it...go for it
2. UP diliman - still one of the best, and is a state university
3. DLSU main - good strong business ties, can't go wrong here

ateneans might ask kung bakit di ko sinama ang ating dear old alma mater, well its because faculty from admu said na the MBA program of ateneo still isn't what it should be. but they are working on it :mrgreen: in a few years daw buff na buff na ang MBA program nila :D

i've thought about taking MBA next school year but it would be wiser for me (and sa iba na rin) to get my master's degree after getting some mileage sa trabaho. easier to get accepted into the program and get a job after.

and MBA doesn't always guarantee a high paying job after finishing it. but it does help given the right precursors :mrgreen:

Thanks guys for the reply. I've been working for 6 years already, so I think I'm more than ready to take up MBA (or maybe overqualified?? :roll: ). Sorry Cale, I think I didn't really setup my account right, actually I'm in the Philippines :mrgreen: . I honestly appreciate your advise, and man I'd really love to take up MBA in the schools you'd mentioned but I don't think I can afford to

Anyway, who knows, did it cost you a lot to take up masters in California? what are the requirements /prerequisites when one's a foreign graduate?

logbook, is that confirmed? I'm planning to take up Masters in Ateneo but if what you've said is true, I might go to DLSU or UP or just wait for that few years when Ateneo's MBA has been refined.

sir glenn,

afaik, sa cali universities (US universities for that matter) you can get financial aids for taking masters. depends sa school pero some of them offer up to 100% tuition reduction....may kasamang workload lang during the year, mga teacher assistant stuff.

btw...nakausap ko faculty from admu college, not from the MBA program itself and i haven't seen the curriculum yet though.

the best MBA programs here in the Philippines are still (sort of) limited to the 4 schools (ADMU, AIM, DLSU, UP). try getting a background on the approaches of these programs, kse dun lang naman din sila nagkakatalo....figure out na lang which suits you better as a person and as a professional :wink:

Glenn,
hey dude np, i'm not a foreign grad so i did not fullfill some of the requirements. the money you will be spending per semester will be around $700 for total of 6 units class, which is 3 classes and aroung $1000 for 6.1 units and above. books are a little bit expensive around $500 for every semester. my cousin was a graduate there in PI from BS Nursing and he took TOEFL, WPE,GRE,GMAT and have his transcript evaluated by an independent credentialing agency recognized by the university when he went to get his MS Nursing. you will also take prereq under gard upper division classes you are deficient from taking your classes in PI which is always the case. logbook is right about financial aid but you have to prove that you are only earning this kind of amount so and so, maintain a grade point average of 3.5 and you dont have to do some workload, its not necessary. US does not recognize any other graduate degree other than United Kingdom and the we have here, i'm sorry to say that. i dont know the reason. and the competition here is tough. when i went to my MS Nursing i have to work fulltime and even 2 jobs and go to school fulltime just to meet both ends of life. its will entail a lot of time, effort and sacrifices but eventually you will be so happy and blessed once you walk to the stage, your adviser announce your name and receiving the diploma from the university president and putting the hood on you...damn that was my happiest moment way back in 1998....my advice Glenn,.......bro go for it...
peace out

Cale

glenn,

definitely MBA. i'm currently enrolled in DLSU RCBC campus and it was really worth it! the professors are very good and they have the titles and positions back them up. imagine attending a class under the CEO of Philam Asset Management, the Head Trainor for Asian Development Bank (ADB), Orly Mercado, Obet Pagdanganan and the list goes on. And best of all, the program is designed for those who are working. You can enroll in Taft if you're working in Manila, RCBC if you're working in Makati and Greenhills if your work is in the Ortigas area. An MBA degree will help you if you plan to teach as well. All the schools mentioned are very good choices.
