But where to start? Under intense competition to meet the demands of a fast-changing global marketplace, MBA providers have fine-tuned their offerings to the point where the choices are dizzying.</p> <p>Our second annual MBA guide makes choosing easier. An updated table offers a quick overview of the offerings on tap from B.C. universities and colleges. And this year's feature stories take a closer look at the kinds of programs available and the types of students who are enrolling.</p> <div style="padding:10px 20px 20px 20px;border: 1px solid #000000; background: #FFFFFF; width:250px; float:left; margin:10px; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;"> <br><br /> Article: Peter Mitham: <a href="/bcb/top-stories/2008/03/25/going-distance" class="contactlink">Doing your MBA online</a><br><br>Article: Peter Mitham: <a href="/bcb/top-stories/2008/03/25/value-proposition" class="contactlink">An MBA is no fast track</a><br><br>Article: Peter Mitham: <a href="/node/2267" class="contactlink">New MBA options</a></div> <p>The big news this year is two new programs aimed specifically at newbies hoping to launch careers in business administration. Recent university graduates have traditionally faced the same<br /> conundrum as many job applicants: only the experienced need apply. Both SFU and UBC have developed new graduate business-degree programs that demand neither work experience nor undergraduate business degrees.<br /> This year we also take a closer look at delivery options, ranging from full-time classroom learning to studying at home at your own pace. And more importantly, we talk directly with local students who describe first-hand the different sacrifices and commitments demanded by each form of learning.</p> <p>We also look at the latest developments in program content. One current student, for example,<br /> reports that demand for MBA grads specializing in sustainability is so steep that she was hired following her first interview.</p> <p>Whether you're actively seeking an MBA program or just idly dreaming about the possibilities, you'll find this year's BCBusiness MBA Guide an indispensable reference point.</p> 2269 at http://www.bcbusinessonline.ca
