I have been reading a lot about MBA programs in China. Many of them are taught in English, including the IMBA program at the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University (http://www.gsm.pku.edu.cn/mba/en/index_en.html#). This school's Associate Director is Paul Gillis, and it has many connections to US, European, and other Asian Schools. I know some people do a double MBA degree program where they study 1 year in Beijing and one year in, for example, University of Washington. Can anyone here give their opinion on such programs and/or your experience? Thanks.

There is a lot of discussion about this already. Rather than duplicate that, please read http://www.find-mba.com/university/1762/peking-university-guanghua-school-of-management/discussions

I think that for these kinds of programs, it really depends on what your career goals are and where you want to end up after graduation. "International" MBA programs are ideal for people whose careers are in global business. However, for many - say, western students who want to end up in China - a program where you end up spending half the time in the States might be a waste of good networking and job-hunting time.
What do you hope to get out of your MBA? If you're looking at schools in China, the Guanghua program is good - and you can also consider CEIBS, Fudan, and Jiao Tong.

Hi Duncan,
Actually my question was a little different than those other questions on these schools.
Ezra, thanks for a more constructive response. I was actually thinking of doing something only in China or something in the US dealing with China. As far as I know, Guanghua is the only school that has so many exchange programs. But thanks; I will look into the other schools as well.

Keep in mind that many American schools have partnerships with Chinese programs, or even campuses in China - and in some cases, through these programs students can opt to study for a time in China. For example, Kellogg has a partnership with CEIBS - and students can choose to study at the CEIBS campus during their second year. Likewise, NYU Stern has a campus in Shanghai where you can spend a semester.

After a lot of reading, checking out websites, and talking with friends who have China experience, I have come to the conclusion that it is better to get a US MBA (since I'm from the US) that has a partnership with a Chinese school. I have also heard that it is better to do a full-time MBA in the US and go to China only to study Chinese language (some students have had bad experiences with MBA programs in China; I have heard a lot of bad things about the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University with many students regretting their choice to study there). Most companies seem to want to hire only US or UK MBA graduates who also speak Chinese. One year in a US MBA program and one year studying Chinese sounds like the better option to me. Thanks for your comments.
