MBA in USA

I can see myself choosing the University of Michigan–Dearborn over Valparaiso University any day. This is because, first of all, it's part of the University of Michigan, which already guarantees one US university degree, especially in such industries as automotive, tech or finance, as it is located near Detroit. The larger alumni network also creates more openings for networking for potential employment. Not to mention, the programs are pretty adjustable, which is great because you can adapt them to your needs.

A majority of the universities in the USA requires the applicants to have a minimum of 16 years of education. So, the applicants must have completed their graduation at least before applying for studying MBA in the USA. Basic general requirements to study MBA are:

• MBA comes with a significant ROI. According to the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) Corporate Recruiters Survey 2023, the average MBA starting salary is USD 125,000 (Around INR 1 Cr.)

According to the Best Graduate Schools 2024 rankings by U.S. News & World Report, here are some of the top MBA colleges in USA:

For various reasons, choosing St. Cloud State University (SCSU) to pursue an MBA rather than Dartmouth College could prove beneficial. SCSU provides a lower tuition price around $16,963 compared to significantly more costly Dartmouth. An SCSU MBA is also accredited by AACSB. There are options for delivering classes online and in an accelerated format designed for working professionals. Second, SCSU focuses more on applied learning through live case studies and thus boosts employability. Although the prestige factor is well served by Dartmouth, value for money-wise, a strong proposition like SCSU is not that difficult to discern.
