Hi Abdoulla,

That is quite early on to start doing an MBA, how many years experience do you have? Presumably not too many. I dont think it will mean that you are over-qualified, but you might want to think about why you are taking it so soon, and what you want to get out of it. What career are you hoping to move into after the MBA, what skills do you think it will give you, what sort of salary increase are you looking for, etc.

Hi Lukeh,

Hello guys,
this school is not accredited at all it seems, and far, but very very far from being ranked anywhere.
To find out more about these 2 questions why don't you google it, there has been some discussion but still only a few hits, so you get around quickly.

Answering Gizofor's question: it is a bit too early to do an MBA (and BTW what is an MIBA anyways?), 3 years work experience are ideal, but you can start preparing it now to be sure to find a good school, really helping you to reach your goal switching and pushing your career.
An MBA is an important operation, be careful before taking your final decision

I have been to this forum before a couple of weeks ago while searching for the best MBA program to enroll in and noticed that there were different points of view for everyone!! I decided to do my own research and here is what i found.
I started by asking some of the professors in cairo university about their own recommendations about the programs and who teaches and stuff like that, the best from this point was AUC's program then ESLSCA's program then GUC and Riti (similar) then programs offered by Cairo and Ain Shams then any other programs.
I then compared the prices of these programs: AUC was extremely expensive (over EGP 70,000), ESLSCA was reasonable (average of EGP40,000) which is almost the same as Riti and GUC.
That is when I started to be interested in ESLSCA and decided to know more about it as AUC wasn't within my budget at all.

- MIBA is Master of International Business Administration which is the same as MBA but with an international orientation.
- ESLSCA is accredited in France from the Council of Higher Education (from ESLSCA France website).
- ESLSCA was not accredited in Egypt as it had an agreement with the Arab Academy Graduate School of Business (AAGSB) which is not accredited in Egypt as the Arab Academy is not considered a University in Egypt. (check the accredited universities on the Egyptian university network www.eun.edu.eg)
- ESLSCA now has an agreement with the Egyptian E-Learning University (www.eelu.edu.eg) giving its certificates the required recognition in Egypt under the umbrella of the Ministry of Higher Education in Egypt.
- If you enroll in ESLSCA you receive TWO degrees when you finish, one from ESLSCA (accredited outside Egypt) and another from EELU (accredited inside Egypt).

The last point was the location, ESLSCA is in Mohandessin area while AUC and GUC are in New Cairo which is very inconvenient for anybody working downtown or in 6th of October City!!!

Considering all the previous plus the fact that ESLSCA Egypt has over 800 alumni members working in the best multinational companies in Egypt and the Middle East, I decided to enroll in their program. They also offer several tracks which is a strong plus for the program as I am still confused about which track to take.

I hope this information helps anyone in choosing!! I will keep you all updated in a few weeks when I start and get to know the disadvantages of ESLSCA!!:)

i am really interested in MBA but i was asking if i will pay about
50 000 LE , what is the benefit of it , in other word what is the expected salary ,

and thanks for your help

Hello
So, the arab academy's graduate school of business has two types of MBA.
1- Academic MBA: for commerce/business college graduates.
2- Executive MBA: for other-discipline college graduates.

Are both types in cooperation with ESLSCA?
Are both types accredited in Egypt and outside of Egypt?
I'm only concerned with the executive MBA, please enlighten me if you have answers.
