Hi Guys,
Has anyone heard about Marshall IBEAR MBA program?
It's one year accelerated MBA program by Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California and has existed for more than 30 years. The program is meant for mid-career professionals.
However, I accept that I had never heard about this program before.
Does anyone know about the prospects of this program?
Any input/feedback will be gratefully accepted.

Thanks in advance!!!

Dear Ramdi,

I am based in Japan and will join IBEAR starting FALL 2008. I have over 18 years experience in IT and was looking for a one year MBA program in US. As you have mentioned the program is for mid-career professionals (average age is 33) and more international (75%). I heard it is very intensive program and the USC name value, especially in Southern California and Marshall network made me choose the program.

I was surprised to find that there are very few indians (only about 1 or 2) out of about 60. Probably because it is expensive and majority are sponsored candidates. Hence, most of the students are from Japan, Korea, China & Taiwan. I have had an opportunity to speak to several alumni here in Tokyo and impressed with the program.
Please get back to me if you have any specific questions or queries.

Regards,
