America is the birthplace of business school education. Traditionally, American universities offer MBA courses, namely MBA and professional master's degree. The following teacher Dai Honglian, consultant of the American Department of Xintong Study Abroad Henan Branch, gives you the most detailed introduction of American business schools.
Overview and professional direction of MBA
MBA mainly provides comprehensive business education from the superficial to the deep. Anyone with any educational background, such as engineering and science, can attend school, usually for two years. Most schools require applicants to have two or more years of work experience before applying. For undergraduates who originally studied business, what they lacked was not book knowledge about business. Therefore, after years of good work experience, it is more appropriate to apply for MBA or EMAB courses in top business schools and exchange studies with students from different industries, majors and work experiences under the guidance of teachers. In addition to charging fees, the significance of MBA lies in establishing personal connections, which is considered as a golden springboard for career.

Another mode of American business schools is Specialized Master. With the commercial economy playing an increasingly important role in modern society, the importance of in-depth study of professional knowledge has become more and more prominent, so American university business schools have gradually begun to offer professional master's courses. Compared with MBA programs with basic education background, most professional masters require students to have certain business course learning experience during their undergraduate years, and in most cases there is no rigid requirement for work experience. According to different teachers and courses, each school offers different professional master's courses. At present, China students generally choose a master's degree when studying in the United States. The following are some professional master's courses:
Master of Accounting: I usually study auditing, financial report analysis, tax law, commercial law and other courses. From the perspective of employment, auditing is more popular. Students with non-accounting background generally need to take courses of 1.5-2 years. In recent years, American states began to require certified public accountants to take higher education courses with 65,438+050 credits, that is, four-year undergraduate courses with 65,438+0 years of accounting. So at present, American universities generally offer master's courses in accounting. Some universities require students to have an accounting background, while others can cater to students with any professional background.
Master of Finance: I usually study investment analysis, financial management, management accounting, data methods, financial modeling, mergers and acquisitions, portfolio management, etc. After graduation, you can not only work in financial institutions such as banks, securities and insurance companies, but also work in the investment departments of large enterprises, management consulting companies, governments and non-profit institutional funds. It has always been the favorite major of China students, with few schools and fierce competition for admission.
Master of Human Resource Management: I usually study human resource strategy, salary formulation, human capital, organizational behavior and other courses. There are fewer schools, and the courses of some schools focus on more academic directions such as talent evaluation methods. Employment direction is usually the human resources department of large enterprises.
Master of Marketing: American masters of marketing usually prefer the direction of market research, and the courses are mostly research methods, variable coding, database management, market statistics, focus group development, etc. Relatively speaking, domestic marketing majors pay more attention to non-data analysis courses such as marketing strategy and marketing planning. The employment direction of this major is mostly enterprise marketing department and consulting company. Telephone consultation: 037 1-556372 18 [online consultation >]; ]
Master of Integrated Marketing Communication: a new major born after the combination of emerging major, marketing major and mass communication theory. Compared with the traditional marketing specialty, IMC emphasizes customer-centered, based on the accurate positioning of customer groups, formulates relevant product strategies, marketing strategies and communication channels, and ensures the unified expression of information in the process. Mainly study market analysis, brand building and management, direct and interactive marketing, network marketing and other courses. Talents in this field are needed at home and abroad.
Master of Real Estate: I usually study real estate appraisal, real estate development, market analysis, construction management, site planning, project management and other courses. The employment direction of students is usually the departments of real estate companies, real estate trading institutions and real estate appraisal institutions, and some graduates enter the fields of finance and investment.
Master of Logistics Management/Supply Chain Management: I usually study courses such as comprehensive business planning, total quality management, supply chain security, customer relationship management and operation management. However, because logistics is a purely service-oriented specialty, combined with the current global logistics integration, sometimes the work is not on time and hard, and the work place may also be in airports, ports and other material transfer stations. Therefore, the employment of boys in this field will be wider.
Master of Management/Business: Usually, for students without business background, the curriculum and content are close to MBA, and they will be taught from the basic business courses. Some schools do not accept students who already have a business degree to apply for this major.
Master of Hotel/Tourism/Vacation & Leisure Management: These majors will help the hotel and tourism industry to cultivate management talents. This industry is a labor-intensive service industry, so there will be obvious industry characteristics in management. Depending on the school, the course may focus on hotel management, catering management, resort management, opening and maintenance of scenic spots, and tourism route planning. There are generally internship courses in the direction of hotel management. At the same time, it will also teach basic business courses such as accounting, marketing, strategic management and human resources.
Master of Sports Industry Management: With the development of sports industry in western countries, Master of Sports Management came into being, similar to hotel management. Learn basic business courses first, and then learn sports event management, sports programs, sports industry marketing, sports brand franchise management and other courses in combination with the characteristics of the sports industry.
Master of Art Management: With the maturity of the art market and the increasingly prominent value of art investment, there is a great demand for professional practitioners with both artistic literacy and business knowledge. Courses, usually teaching artistic marketing, art fund raising, cultural studies, art industry financial management, art museum management and other courses. The employment direction can be galleries, auction companies, art galleries, etc.
Master of IT/ Technology/Innovation Management: Usually for students with science and engineering background. With the increasing proportion of science and technology economy in the global economy, scientific and technological innovation has promoted the economic growth of developed countries. In order to help science and engineering students better adapt to the commercial society, American universities gradually offer this major. Courses generally include basic business courses, intellectual property protection, start-ups, project management and financial management, information security management, etc.
Master of Management Information System/Information System: This major is a combination of computer technology and management. According to different schools, some are in business schools and some are in computer schools. The application of computer technology is becoming more and more important for modern enterprises. In the environment of rapidly changing information and increasingly fierce business competition, in order to maintain the competitiveness of enterprises, good internal management system, customer management system, company website construction, internal network system and database application technology can help enterprises operate more efficiently. Usually in this major, you will study information security, enterprise systems, social media and Web2.0, database and business informatics, IT project management and other courses. The current employment prospects of students majoring in this major are ideal at home and abroad.
Master of Project Management: This major usually requires years of work experience before you can apply. Only a few schools are open to people with no work experience. Moreover, project management usually requires professional knowledge of the industries involved in the project, which will lead to better employment. After all, without professional communication and judgment, there is no management. If you are interested in project management, you can download relevant materials from the website of Project Management College of Project Management College and sign up for the PMP exam. Generally speaking, you must have a PMP certificate before you can engage in relevant certificates.
In addition to the above-mentioned traditional business and management courses, a few schools have offered master's courses in economics under business schools. Compared with the traditional economics courses offered by liberal arts colleges, they will emphasize the combination of economics and business knowledge, and the teaching content usually involves economic theory, global monetary economy, quantitative analysis, economy and finance.

On the 7th, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley, I want to apply.
Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley is located in the corner of San Francisco. Haas Business School is known as having more personality than Stanford because of its superior geographical location, and its friendly and cooperative campus atmosphere has left a deep impression on students. The key point is that Haas Business School advocates small-scale teaching, with only about 240 students in one grade. It is precisely because of the small scale that the admission rate is extremely low. Students applying for business school must have taken basic courses in advanced mathematics and statistics. Therefore, students are advised to think carefully before applying.
Haas Business School is also unique in teaching methods, including case teaching, in which case teaching accounts for 40%, classroom professors account for 30% and internship projects account for 30%. The internship program is also the so-called Co-op paid internship. The main feature is the research on information technology and biotechnology entrepreneurship. Most graduates choose to start their own businesses, and a few students choose to work in big companies. Due to the superior geographical location, the proportion of foreign students is still relatively high, reaching 30%, especially Asian students and Asian students, but students are also stingy and basically do not give scholarships to foreign students, so if you want to apply for this school, don't expect to give you many scholarships.
Eighth place Columbia University, I want to apply.
Columbia University, located in Manhattan, new york, is one of the world-famous top business schools and the most difficult business school in the world. Columbia University Business School enjoys the unique advantages of new york, a world financial center, and is closely related to Wall Street. Columbia University Business School has five academic departments (departments), namely accounting, decision-making, risk and operation, finance and economics, management and marketing. Columbia University Business School offers a variety of EMBA teaching modes, including Friday/Saturday course mode, Saturday only course mode, EMBA training mode in cooperation with London Business School, Berkeley-Columbia EMBA Project in cooperation with University of California, Berkeley, and Global Asia EMBA Project in cooperation with London Business School and Hong Kong University.
However, the cost of Columbia Business School is also very expensive, and the tuition will basically reach 60,000 US dollars. The admission rate is also relatively low, 16%, and international students account for 38%. The relative requirement of working experience is 3-5 years. The GMAT score is required to be between 680 and 760, and such a high admission condition makes many students flinch. I recommend students with certain work experience to apply for Columbia University Business School, which is relatively easy to enroll.
NO.9 I want to apply for Dartmouth College Tucker Business School.
Dartmouth Tucker Business School is located in Hanover, South New Hampshire, USA. Hanover is a very beautiful town, known as the second most livable area in the United States. Has been committed to training business talents for a hundred years. Although you may not have heard much about this school, its popularity is evident in the United States. Its competitive advantage lies in "small but specialized", more focused focus, providing high-quality full-time education for smaller groups. At Tucker Business School, students not only have access to world-class teachers and unparalleled alumni associations, especially the alumni associations, which are extremely powerful and can maintain lifelong contact with students, thus helping students' professional development and personal life.
I recommend Tucker's full-time MBA program, whose graduates are very popular in the United States, because Tucker's unique MBA education not only educates students to become corporate executives, but also endows them with unparalleled team spirit. But his MBA has only one direction: General Management (GM). Like Haas Business School in Berkeley, California, he also strictly controls the teaching scale, enrolling only about 250 students every year. Its comprehensive management, strategic management and finance are very strong. Basically 1/3 graduates go to top investment banks, 1/3 graduates go to top consulting companies, and 1/3 graduates enter enterprises to engage in financial or strategic management-related work. Tucker's graduates generally have a general evaluation in their work, that is, their basic skills are solid and their work is smooth. So this school is also the key choice for excellent students.

New york is the largest financial center in the world and the headquarters of the United Nations. With its geographical and academic advantages, Business School of new york University has become a truly world-class global business and economic management research and academic institution.
However, it is precisely because of its superior geographical advantages that it is very difficult for business schools in new york University to apply. Many students are too crowded to apply. The main directions of Stern Business School include: finance, statistics and data management, leadership and team, market, strategy, world economy, entrepreneurship and innovation, marketing and supply chain management.
