UNC Kenan-Flagler MBA - ¿ habla espanol ?

I just learned about UNC Kenan-Flagler MBA's Working languages program. This program is intended for managers who wish to learn a language for their career but don't have the time to take standard language classes. The program is currently offered in Spanish, Portuguese and Mandarin. The classes are given in both beginners and intermediate levels.

The course is not limited to language study only, but includes an overview of the culture, holidays, food and many more aspects that can make it easier for future leaders. What a great benefit to get out of your business education. It is rare for people to pick up a language as adults (especially if you're busy with your career), so this is just the perfect timing - during your MBA. Also, students can combine the Working Languages program together with an exchange program or an international immersion, using multiple facet to enhance the learning.

If you are looking for a small MBA program (incoming class of less than 300 students), with a strong focus on leadership and intensive personal coaching, check out UNC MBA video section, with students testimonial about the program and how they benefit from it.

Chicago Booth Admissions /Top part-time MBA

If you are considering the Chicago Booth MBA or EMBA program, here's your chance to learn more about the school and see if it's the right fit for you.

The Weekend/Evening MBA program enables people who live outside of the Chicago area to attain a highly ranking top-notch MBA degree in a part-time set-up. Given the economy, getting into a part time top MBA is not a walk in the part but will require you to put your best foot forward.

Interesting enough, getting into some top part-time MBA programs (NYU, Columbia, Berkeley, UCLA, Chicago etc) might be even more competitive than the full-time program. Admissions committee do not provide full information about the profile of applicants, however I estimate the admission rate into NYU full time similar to NYU part-time MBA program. This is of course a result of the population size in New York and the fact the people with jobs (in Finance and other industry) are looking to keep them.

Back to Chicago - here are the dates for the information session -

• Thursday, November 19, 2009
• Friday, January 8, 2010
• Thursday, January 28, 2010
• Saturday, February 27, 2010
• Friday, March 5, 2010
