There are many factors to consider when deciding upon which MBA program, or business school to apply to.
Globally, the top five factors that business school applicants consider when selecting MBA programs are: availability of scholarships or financial aid, a business school’s reputation, a program’s career placement record, the quality of academic staff, and the overall return on investment.
However, with a wealth of choice between differing modes of study, potential MBAs should also decide whether alternatives to the traditional full-time MBA could be more suited to them. Aside from part-time options, there are also online, distance learning, and executive MBAs, for applicants with at least six or more years of work experience.
