Master of Business Administration - Batch of 2025

Great university - Best work options after graduation
Tips: Great culture, smooth transition for international students since there are many others and the school is very accommodating. Very satisfied with the university, the course is great with excellent ROI. I was given scholarships during admission which we could appeal and negotiate if we wanted to, other scholarships were also available through affinity groups

Impressed by the job opportunities. University affiliations help a lot.
Tips: Negotiate scholarships on the basis of acceptances/scholarships received from other schools. An intense basecamp of 3 weeks is held by the school to help transition to the new environment. I am very satisfied with the flexibility to choose multiple subjects offered by different colleges within the university.
Likes (Post study jobs): Many companies are affiliated with/visit CMU for recruitment. The recruitment department is excellent and provides assistance in building resumes and interview prep. The industry is average and above observed in terms of jobs and salary packages offered to students.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are some restaurants to eat out as well as grocery stores in case you want to cook. However, traditional products are expensive to buy including masala, cooker, etc. Easier to find American replacements. Also, CMU provides a free pantry once a week for grocery and daily use items.

One of the best faculty in terms of research
Tips: This is a small and well-connected class. We had class networking and orientation for almost 3 weeks which shows the emphasis on networking and connections. Scholarships are also generous with merit-based scholarships. The course is data oriented so it is very quantitative.
Likes (Quality of faculty): CMU has one of the best faculty in terms of research and publications. MBA here is more data-oriented and so it is quantitative. CMU is known for its Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science and Cyber security programs. MBA also uses the latest tools and data analytics to make business decisions.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Pittsburgh is not a tech or any other industry-based city. Though now we have PNC and PWC offices, many other major tech companies and consulting companies don't have any offices here. So the options to settle here post-MBA are scarce. This slowly seems to be changing though.

Great campus and student life.
Tips: Generally, Indians face a cultural shift so please be prepared to be independent and do things on your own. Build a strong profile to get a scholarship and further try to negotiate whatever you get. Currently, I am satisfied with whatever I have experienced so far.
Likes (Student Life): Great campus, great facilities for academics, sports, food options and the student affairs team is very helpful and available for students. There are a wide variety of clubs- ranging from professional to fun clubs. The students are interactive and willing to participate in engaging conversations.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I cook and eat my own food, not really sure about Indian food, although there are quite a few Indian restaurants. Generally, food will be available for $20 which is reasonable given the portions. There are a variety of cuisines like Turkish, American, Spanish, Mexican etc. Available.

Many job roles are available after completion of the course.
Tips: Initially, there was a bit of a learning curve after moving here. Everything was different the culture, the people and the food. The people here are extremely friendly which makes this place so much better. I was given a merit based scholarship from the university. Overall I am happy with the course, university and the country.
Likes (Post study jobs): There are a lot of jobs available in the market even when the economic condition is not the best There are a lot of companies that sponsor visas for work and there doesn't seem to be any issue with this the companies that offer jobs. A variety of jobs are offered which lets everyone get their dream role/company.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are a lot of part-time jobs available but because I am an international student I am not allowed to work part-time for a longer duration. For the first semester, we are advised not to work part-time as the schedule is very hectic The average payout is around $20-30.
