Hi All,
I have 21/2 years of experience in working as an IT professional in Datawarehosuing.
I am thinking of taking a break and pursue a 1-year MBA program.
I already have a Master's in Chemical Engineering in USA and no experience in business courses.
There are many MBA programs like finanace, accounting e.t.c.
I am confused about choosing a particular program which suits my skills which I acquired so far.
Please somebody help me in choosing a particular MBA program where I can have a better success and also what will be the future of that particular program (like getting a good job and bright future) and also schools which offers those programs (1-year) and also please mention why that program best fits for me.
I really appreciate anybody's help.

Thank you,
Satya

What happens after you graduate, and how happy you are with your outcomes, is a combination of where you studied, how well you did, what you do afterwards, what you're looking for, and a little bit of luck. I understand, however, that you're already looking for the best programme to suit your experience, qualifications, etc. First of all, you need to think about what country you'd like to study in. Once that's decided, you might want to consider what, if any, budgetary constrain you're operating under. Already you should have eliminated a few places, and you should have a long-list of places you want to investigate further. You can get rid of a few straight away by seeing if their courses match your profile and interest, whether or not they offer a one-year course, whether they require GMAT scores in the thousands (this might be a slight exaggeration!). You're more likely to find courses of less than 2 years' duration in Europe than you are in the US. Perhaps - and it is only a perhaps - you might chuck out a few more on the basis of their location, living costs, reputation or lack thereof. Ultimately, however, when comes to determining which programme best fits you, it is your call. I would be surprised if anyone ever confessed to having found the perfect MBA for them - with the exception of Liverpool FC's comeback to beat AC Milan in the European Cup nothing ever is - but you should certainly be able to get as near as damn-it.

Well, this site is a good place to start. You can find profiles of a large number of programmes in the UK and US by searching through the USA and UK-IRL pages, the tabs for which are at the top of the page. You should then go and look at individual programme's websites for more details.

i second that / the search program here is a graet tool for finding the right program! you can narrow you search by filling in the fields given there - like subject area(you will find it really helps, sice choosing just a land will bring up too many programs). just start by choosing u.k and IT for example.

Good luck,

Andy

Hi Satya,
Depending on your career goals, do you want to do a specialized MBA in IT or a general MBA?
Attiya

Well, i guess that MBA in IT will be the best bet for you, if you are looking to stay in the same branch. otherweise, as attiya said, you should define youre carrier goals, and then go for the program that suits them the most.
