I'm in the process of finding the right MBA. On top of my profile, I am an accountant working in the Oil & Gas industry.
So far I am leaning towards Ivey, but Queen's accelerated MBA is attractive because I don't need to take a break from my career.
One question about Queen's career support if you don't study in Kingston. Do you still get to participate in those career recuriting in the fall? I am also looking into a change in a career towards consulting or finance.
To be honest, I am still justifying my investment to a MBA program. Aside personal and career growth, so far the salary survey all Canadian schools are providing is not very persuasive. I am making close to the graudates, and with seniority and experience, I can earn more without worry about paying back student loans for MBA. I am doing this for a potential career change and my opportunity cost is extremely high.
I am also looking into EDHEC in France and also the IE online program. IE definitely give me the flexibility of working full time in Calgary, but I also worry that it not very well regonized in Canada, even though it is the top 4 schools in Europe. I think EDHEC is very competitive on the finance side, and I an get a merit base scholarship, but it is also a year off from work, and it is a new school that doesn't even get on anyone's radar list.
Another option is to go with University of Calgary's MBA, which is much cheaper, but doesn't have the brand name as Queens or Ivey.
Help!!
