MBA or MBA 'international'


Hello,
I intend to persue MBA at university of regina, I have 2 years of work experience.

Uregina has two MBA programs:
MBA International:

MBA:
http://www.uregina.ca/business/levene/programs/mba/index.html


I am eligible for MBA International program (the first link) but the institute says they need some time to evaluate if my previous studies fulfill the requirement for admission in the MBA program (the second link).

I want to know what is the basic difference between the two?
If I go for MBA international, will it lack the impact a simple 'MBA' would have on my CV?

Thank You for your help in advance.

It seems that the MBA-I is aimed mainly at international students without prior degrees in business, while the MBA is aimed principally at part-time domestic students with prior degrees in business. What the two groups share is no deep need for in-country placement.

Why are you focussed on Regina?

So in your opinion, will MBA-I written on my CV be a disadvantage?
I do fear that in MBA-I i might not have the class fellows, an important part of learning at par with my knowledge or background -in terms of studies.

I have some family member in regina. Plus, Saskatchewan's SINP seemed enticing.

I actually have a professional accounting degree (ACCA), CGA canada recognizes and gives some exemptions. I dont know what factors to look into when you go university selecting, so I went with one where I have someone I know.

Please feel free to add your thoughts on university selection and Uregina/ Saskatchewan province.

I was thinking take admission in MBA, get a 'graduate degree' and If i get a feel for it, get CGA done -a professional degree. The thing is, after my professional degree, I do feel I need a graduate degree, professional degrees when fully recognized give you benefits but a graduate degree is kinda Gold (unless really poor university, you get recognition everywhere).

I don't think Duncan meant that the actual wording on the degree is problematic; it's more that the degree and associated career services aren't really suited to your goals.

Unfortunately, there's no real internationally-accredited MBA program in the province. For something that will be more valuable, you'd have to go to west to Alberta (Calgary/Haskayne or University of Alberta) - or of course to Ontario (York/Schulich or Rotman in Toronto).

Oh thankyou for that information. I will look into it.
Sadly my background in professional studies makes me get confused in all the technical university related measures.

Thanks, I will look into it.
