MBA in China

The Chinese economy continues to boom, an increasing number of university business students, both Chinese and foreign, are opting to seek a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) at Universities within China to increase their knowledge beyond the bachelor’s degree level.

“For my masters program I was in Beijing first, and then I came to Shanghai for the second half,” said Valerie, an American student completing her MBA in China. Some of the MBA programs in China attract foreign students from many different countries studying not only business, but also Chinese language. These students are eager to study in China, known worldwide as the place to go for growing businesses.

Many job seekers hoping to climb the executive ladder are finding that they are more likely to be hired by multi-national firms, and their skills are more marketable, if they have an MBA listed on their resume.
