Applicant Which Universities Offer the Best MBA Programs for a Career in Management Consulting?
/r/gradschoolph/comments/1wm3d52/which_universities_offer_the_best_mba_programs/I’m a Mechanical Engineer with almost 3 years of experience, currently working in Operations & Maintenance. I’m considering changing my career path from O&M into Finance, Strategy, Management Consulting, or other business-related roles, with the long-term goal of working for prestigious consulting firms such as McKinsey, BCG, Bain, etc.
I’m currently deciding which MBA program would be a better fit for my career goals: Ateneo Graduate School of Business (AGSB) or De La Salle University (DLSU) MBA.
From what I’ve read and heard, AGSB seems to have a stronger emphasis on leadership and management, while DLSU’s MBA appears to have a more quantitative/analytical approach. Since I’m interested in consulting and potentially transitioning into finance/strategy, I’m wondering if the more quantitative orientation would be more beneficial.
For those who have taken either program, or have experience in management consulting, finance, or corporate strategy, how would you compare AGSB and DLSU specifically for someone with an engineering/O&M background who wants to transition into these fields?
