With the development of the business schools in China, more and more foreign friends have chosen to study business in China. For the choosing of a business school will affect your career and your future to some degree, you need to pay attention to many things before applying.
 
The Degree
Try to find the business offering the most proper type of degree and program for you. Nowadays there are many different options. You can now choose from two-year MBA programs, one-year MBA programs, Executive MBA programs, part-time MBA programs, and distance education MBA programs.
 
The Cost
Business school tuition can be very costly and should be carefully considered before applying. Decide how much you are prepared to pay for your education and look into schools that fit into the financial parameter that you set. You will also need to keep in mind other expenses for the area such as cost of living and commuting.
 
The Curriculum
Many schools are now discouraging specializing in only one aspect of business. A general management perspective has been adopted as a result. However, concentration should still be considered. For example, if you are interested in marketing, choose a school that has an outstanding marketing program.
 
The Size
Assess your preferences. Are you interested in individualized attention? If so, it may be better for you to choose a school with small class sizes and a low student-to-teacher ratio.
 
The Reputation
Much like a law school or medical school education, the academic content of a business school education does not vary much between programs. However, the MBA is analyzed and ranked by more organizations than any other academic degree. These ranking can help you determine which schools are the most prestigious. Keep in mind though, even if a school is not top-ranked, it can still have a good reputation.
 
The Exclusiveness
Some business schools are very selective. They may only admit a small number of students into their program, making the application process very competitive. If you want to enlarge your chance in the competition, try to match your background (GPA, test scores, etc.) with the school’s admittance record. If you have doubts about your chances of acceptance, remember that you can apply to more than one school.
 
The Placement Statistics
Students usually pursue an MBA to enhance their future career options. Therefore, choosing a school with a good placement record is important. Most business schools will willingly supply placement statistics to interested applicants. Checking recruiter records and speaking with former graduates of the school will also give you further insight.
