Yes, MSU doesn’t require you to have a specific number of years or months of work experience (For all UG and most Masters courses). This requirement is generally for executive MBA’s. Other than that you can take up any course in MSU and it won’t require a work experience. So, if you are planning for a general full time MBA, work experience won’t be required.

This is totally a person specific comparison and aligns with the priority that one has set. If you believe that US market is your thing and you want to do it from a good institution like MSU and have adequate funds then definitely USA is the better option here. If you are low on your budget and just have to get done with MBA locally which will by the way land you on a less paying job then choose CU. MSU any day is better than CU considering that you are ready to invest on your education and have the funds to study there. Good luck!

There is not much of a difference everything is similar be it applying to university or Visa Process. However if you are applying for Undergraduate program, SAT and ACT is optional so that is a plus point. Minimum GPA requirement is also a bit different (less) and so is the language test scores (less). Check the official website thoroughly for application process. Rest, I believe that everything is similar.

It is a cheap option and a good one too at the same time. The MBA is far cheaper that other private institutions nearby who don’t even have a good accreditations to their names as well. MSU’s MBA is AACSB  accredited so it’s a good to go. MSU’s MBA on the other hand is fairly taken in market and since it is a state university recognition is job market won’t be a thing. There are positive opinions only however you just need to figure out what specialisation you need and if that is available.

Choosing between Minnesota State University (MSU) and Mercy College for your depends on your priorities and goals.

The good points about studying in MSU are

Affordability: Public universities like MSU are generally cheaper than private colleges like Mercy College. This can be a significant factor, especially considering the cost of an MBA program.

Regional Ranking: MSU ranks well within the Midwest region according to U.S. News & World Report, indicating a good overall programs.

I believe these two points only beat Mercy college at a glance since it is a very small private institution so I think that the MSU should be only stop without com

Totally depends on your course, duration and where and how you want to live. Let’s consider that you are going for a two year master program. On calculating average tution fee, the sum is 11 lakh/year. So, for 2 years that sums up to 22 Lakhs. Now lets consider the accommodation and living expenses. The average cost incurred in living expenses by an Indian student in Minnesota per month is 1000 $ (Food, Travel, Accommodation, entertainment) which sums up to 12000$ per year which comes roughly around 10 Lakhs/year (Considering exchange rate to be 1$=82 INR) adding 2 year costs it is 20 Lakhs. If we add Air tickets and other miscel

Mercy college is a private college and MSU is public both are located in different states of US. While MSU is in Mankato, Mercy college in located in New York. If I compare average fee paid of both colleges then MSU has 8800 $ as compared to Mercy college's 15283 $. Also since New York is expensive considering the living costs there, It is clearly evident that MSU is way cheaper than Mercy college.

Well it is famous for a few things. It is very affordable and has a wide range of programs to offer to students. It has a strong regional ranking as well and high graduate success rate too. Adding to this the university has students from all around the world so diversity is also the reason why students choose this university.

Well it has many reasons. First and the foremost is high acceptance rate which is 77%. MSU is not situated in a big city so for Indian students accommodation is less and so are other expenses. Part-time jobs are also available and students end up saving some bucks.  There is high graduate success rate of with 94% of students employed and over 12% students continuing education. Moreover it is a state university so fee is also not that much compared to private universities and colleges adding to the reasons why Indian students choose to study here.
