宾州州立大学商学院 - We're Penn State Smeal MBA Class of 2014

Thanks for your enthusiastic help!

I would like to know what is the percentage of Chinese students in your full-time MBA program, as the class size is 75-110 according to the website.  And how many classes are there in a program?

Second, I know that your school is famous for supply chain management. I actually have background mainly in sales and entrepreneurship.  Do you have any Chinese peers who specialized in other fields (sales or marketing the best) before MBA?  

Third, do you have a preference for applicants with technical background? How do you feel about the program, is it too quantitative for students without an engineering bachelor degree?

Many thanks!

1. 75~110 is already our program size, in the first year, you will be divided into 2 classes, each with around 40 people. There are usually 5~7 Chinese students in the class.
2&3. This is a very diversified program, candidates come in with all kinds of background as marketers, teachers, military, engineer, etc.

Hope it will help.

Frankly, I am interested in your school because your ranking of SCM is among the top of the world. As one of my intention to pursue an MBA is to immigrate, I would like to choose a track that is easier for international students to acquire job opportunities in local market. SCM is the track that I found feasible.  

Another reason is that PSU offers a higher percentage of scholarship compared to other programs. I don't have a large budget to make my educational investment.

Therefore, would you please tell me 1) a little bit about the employment situation for international students(well, more specifically Chinese students)       2)What's the average percentage of scholarship that PSU offers to Chinese students?    3)What differentiates your school from other MBA programs besides your features in SCM.

Thank you very much!

For official employment stats, you can refer to our website. As for Chinese students from Mainland, for 2013 graduates, so far as I know, 4 of our 5 landed the full time job before graduation, it's also depends on personal preference on job options.
Most international students got scholarship, but also, please remember it depends on your own academic and professional success.
PSU is very strong on SCM, not only from academic wise, but also from the wide alumni networking from this area.
Hope this will help.

刚刚在PSU的官网上看到了信息。。。贴出来给大家，看到行程表里也有10月份也有深圳的计划表，但没有准确的地址联系人，是不是去年的答疑贴，说今年会在南方开一场INFORMATION SESSION 有计划，但是还没有最终敲定啊？
希望能赶上今年的好时光。。。
