    So how much of MBA will one complete with these 4 courses?

    • eddiet83 on 16/09/2013 - 06:51

      None, they will not be credited

      • tanoshiiki on 16/09/2013 - 11:10

        I know I should do these for personal challenge, but the lack of accreditation is less motivating.

    Wow, that's nice. You guys know how expensive they are? For a 20 months MBA program, the budget for the first year is 92,000 dollars. Damn.

    Will consider doing this after I finish my CA by end of this year.

    • nfr on 16/09/2013 - 13:21

      MBA is overrated, overpriced. CA is a much better deal.

      • tanoshiiki on 16/09/2013 - 14:10

        I'm curious as to why you think that. I'm a CA myself and I've often thought about getting an MBA.

      • DaiShan on 16/09/2013 - 14:56

        But MBA unlocks sooo many better doors

        (I'm studying CA myself)

          yes, theoretically MBA could unlock many opportunities through the potential networking in class.

          I think that if you already have a CA or studying towards CA, it is better to try and get experiences using it first and once you have 7+ yrs of managerial or executive experience, you could look at the E-MBA (executive level) program, that way you'll gain better networking exposures.

          I am currently studying towards an MBA myself and I find the subjects in MBA program are a bit generic

          I thought CA(Chartered Accountant) is for accountants, literally. And MBA or EMBA is more for administration or management. Why do you guys compare two different things?
          Please correct me if I'm wrong here.

        • Ahan on 17/09/2013 - 08:13

          You are quite right. They are both qualification though.

  • PeeDee on 16/09/2013 - 10:17

    Will my gpa be affected?

  • Tarnos on 16/09/2013 - 13:58

    Studying an MBA is about the network you gain when studying, not so much the course material. I don't think this will be too useful - but it's free so I am not complaining!
