Master of Business Administration (MBA) is an internationally recognized degree, which aims to cultivate the skills needed for business and management. However, the value of MBA is not limited to the business field. MBA is also very useful for people who want to engage in management work in the public sector, government, private enterprises and other fields.
Mbas are usually divided into different categories. There are full-time MBA degree courses (requiring full-time study) and on-the-job MBA courses (requiring part-time study). On-the-job MBA usually takes classes on weekdays or weekends, sometimes focusing on a four-day class including weekends once a month. On-the-job MBA curriculum design allows students to continue working while obtaining their degrees.
Most MBA courses include some "core" subjects, such as accounting, economics, marketing and operation, as well as elective courses that follow personal or professional interests. Some schools require MBA candidates to practice in companies or institutions so that they can get specific job opportunities after the project is over. Excellent MBA programs often keep up with the times and provide forward-looking business development opportunities. For example, in recent years, MBA has generally offered cutting-edge courses such as entrepreneurship management, big data, artificial intelligence, deep learning, and blockchain.
MBA is the most popular master's degree in China and even in the world, and it may also be the most expensive major.
Taking the tuition fees of several famous schools in Shanghai as an example, the tuition fee for full-time MBA in China and Europe in 20 18 is 408,000 yuan, which is expected to be close to 500,000 yuan in 20 19; Jiaotong University Gaojin 20 19 On-the-job Finance MBA Tuition: 438,000 yuan; Fudan 20 18 part-time MBA tuition: 339,800 yuan, and 20 19 tuition is expected to be 420,000 yuan. Jiao Da Antai 20 19 part-time MBA tuition: 408,000 yuan.
Is MBA tuition so expensive? How do you feel after reading it? We got some answers from some zhanghua students who are studying or have received MBA education for your reference.
Classmate a (senior white-collar worker in financial company):
When we were in 14, the tuition was actually only over 200,000. It was very expensive at first, but in recent years, the tuition has soared to around 400 thousand. Fortunately, I started early.
My simplest idea at that time was to improve my academic qualifications and realize my dream of studying abroad. I am about to enter the senior management position of the company, and my bachelor degree will be a little stressful in the management position of our company. Postgraduates in other majors don't have that much time. MBA can study on the job, and the chances of choosing a famous school are high, which can improve your management ability. A few weeks in a famous foreign school is a cost-effective choice. After the promotion of academic qualifications, my self-confidence in the company has also improved, and even expanded a little for a while. The promotion and salary increase went smoothly in all aspects, which was quite cost-effective. I made a very correct choice.
Classmate b (boss of group company):
I'm just talking about the tuition, but it's actually ok. Don't be too nervous. I'm still looking for a course that suits my MBA or EMBA. I only consider the best schools, so the tuition will certainly be more expensive. I think that if we spend the same time studying, the courses in good schools with more expensive tuition fees will be more cost-effective and the circle of classmates will be better. Education is useless to me. My purpose is to learn knowledge. I run a family business, which was left to me by my elders. However, there is a big gap between the current market situation and the environment when enterprises started, and enterprises should be transformed to adapt to the new era. The MBA may be the best place to find the answer. Teachers and classmates can think and discuss your problems with you, which is the most precious. MBA is the place where I feel most relaxed. With so many smart people, I can help you find the best solutions and resources. It has solved many problems in enterprise management. Although the tuition is not cheap, it is worth it.
Classmate C (founder of startup company, studying MBA):
The MBA can be said to have changed the trajectory of my life. I think everyone who starts a business should go to MBA. It is definitely not enough to start a business with enthusiasm and dreams. You need to improve your way of thinking, business and management skills. More importantly, you need to find a crowd and atmosphere that can support you to realize your dreams. For entrepreneur Xiaobai, there is no better place to get in touch with these contacts and resources than the MBA circle. Everyone here is very willing to realize their dreams by themselves or with others, so choosing to start a business is just a natural reaction after I got an MBA. This is not a very difficult choice. I never feel lonely. Compared with the success rate of starting a business, the economic investment of tuition can be ignored.
These are the answers given to us by three zhanghua students. Teachers and editors in zhanghua once doubted whether the current high MBA tuition was worth it. However, after reading the answers of three students, Bian Xiao can only say that the high tuition fees are not the shortcomings of MBA, but our shortcomings.
