BU Strengths Highlight
MS-MBA Program – About half of its full-time students pursue this unique curriculum. In the same 21-month time frame as the regular MBA program, MS-MBA students earn two degrees: a traditional MBA with a concentration, and a Master of Science in Information Systems.
Public & Nonprofit Management Program– Founded in 1975, the PNP is designed for students who seek to use core business management skills to address society's most challenging humanitarian and social problems in the global economy, whether they plan to work in the government, nonprofit, or private sector. Boston being the hub of nonprofit organizations, BU PNP students have gained great exposures to opportunities in the public and nonprofit through the wide network of the program and alumni. Recent PNP graduate students have landed jobs in Citizen Bank, Government Accountability Office, United Way, etc.
Health Sector Program – BU is well-known for its health sector program. It is ranked 17th for accredited health care programs in the country.It is in close proximity to some of the top healthcare companies and institutions in the world, including Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, Biogen Idec, Genzyme, Boston Scientific etc. Graduates have a consistent history of successful job placement. In four of the last five years, the health sector program has had 100% job placement at graduation.Program alumni hold key leadership positions in a wide variety of settings, providing a rich and responsive array of networking opportunities.
Location, Location, Location – Boston is a world-class hub of business and entrepreneurial resources. It is a major hub for healthcare and IT industries in the US. That means an unparalleled concentration of intellectual, business, entrepreneurial, and scientific organizations in the healthcare and IT sectors that seek and reward a constant inflow of fresh young minds with new energy and new ideas. Not to mention its cultural assets (architecture, art, museums, libraries, symphony),historical landmarks, restaurants and clubs, shopping, and our college and pro sports teams. The School itself is just two blocks away from the Fenway Park where the Red Sox play (You will love them once you are here). One of the largest cities in the US, Boston is not far away from other large cities on the East coast. It is a 4 hour drive to New York City, 6 hours to Philadelphia, and 8 hours to Washington DC (Well, that is not too far by US standard). The Greater Boston area also has one of the largest groups of Chinese residents in the US, making your life easier and perhaps better in many ways.
Class Profile - 2012
Out of the 161 BU students in Class 2012, about 6% are from Greater China area. According to the school, 6 are from mainland China (Chinese passport holders), plus 4 from Taiwan.
Students from Greater China area have very diverse background: finance (private equity, corporate finance), healthcare, IT and consumer goods.
About the Application
The following is a BusinessWeek interview with Director of BU MBA Admissions Chris Storer.
http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/content/jul2009/bs20090727_270550.htm
In general, BU looks for candidates who have great leadership skills and team spirits, committed to further strengthen the brand name of BU, and will succeed at BU both inside and outside the classroom
Interview - School
A trip to campus for interview would be nice but not necessary. Admission officers at BU travel extensively to conduct interviews worldwide. They rely very little on alumni in this matter. You should be ready to describe your understanding of BU's culture and the benefit of the program.
Wish you all good luck and let us know if you have any questions. |
