Pre-MBA Programs

Pre-MBA Programs

August 26th, 2020


Find an MBA program


An American MBA is well recognized and highly valued in today’s international business environment. Leading American business methods and technologies continue to have a strong impact on business worldwide. Your decision to attain an MBA in the USA is a wise first step in your career growth and development. With an MBA you will have new career opportunities and access to higher positions and salaries.

However, most employers agree that merely having an MBA is not enough; employers also consider your previous experience and your potential when making hiring decisions. Therefore, if you desire a successful career in the current highly competitive business world you should take full advantage of your MBA program.

A pre-MBA program is an excellent way to promote success in an MBA program. First, you can improve your English and your performance on the TOEFL and GMAT. More importantly, you can develop business, academic and cultural skills that are valuable in an MBA program. A pre-MBA program will help you effectively build these skills by giving you the most current and accurate knowledge available.

Four important ways in which pre-MBA programs differ

1. Program length

Depending on the school and the curriculum focus, programs will vary from a few weeks to a full year.

2. Curriculum

Some programs focus on GMAT and TOEFL preparation. Other programs focus on developing skills in areas such as presentations, writing, communication, and business and cultural content. The ideal program will focus on both test preparation and academics. Programs like this will ensure students’ readiness for the GMAT and TOEFL and enter today’s American MBA programs with greater confidence.

3. Services

Programs differ greatly in the range of services they offer. Services may include advising, university placement, and housing assistance. When researching programs, find out what services each school provides. This may be an important factor in your decision-making.

4.Technology

Being well versed in technology—especially the latest software programs—is crucial in the modern business environment. Many pre-MBA programs have computer labs and courses that help students develop technology skills.
