An appealing feature of BU is that it has a program that let you get 2 master degrees, MBA & MIS within 2 years. tuition is around $25,000/y, not including one extra summer, which is a mandatory semester that needs extra $15,000. This program requires about 90 credits and contains many computer related courses, which are very broad and deep. I don't believe their students can understand what their professors teach unless they already knew it. So plagiarism is a must for many students. How much you can learn is up to yourself. After graduation, few Chinese students can find a job. But don't be suprised or depressed on this point, most MBA on the same level have the similiar even worse situation. But look in a broad and practical way, it's a fine choice. Ranking about 50, sitting in a nice city. Unfortunately, there are two bad universities H & M in the same city. This fact may somehow hurt your confidence and feeling.
