MBA in Trinidad..what is the best choice?

[Trini do]

Anyone ever thought of persuing a MBA in Trinidad?
Which one would you go for and why or is it worth is at all?

- Heroitt Watt at SBCS
- Henley at SAMS
-Angela Ruskin at SAMs
- Arthur Lok Jack


I am thinking about accreditation, if the rankings touted in the local press are real, global mobility etc

Please add to the list, I am keen to know what your thoughts are

SBCS - good!
Lok jack only if you like group work and lazy people

I have asked every MBA qualified person I've met their thoughts on this subject.
If I ever take leave of my senses (as I am apt to do on occasion) to pursue another Masters, I would go to Lok Jack. The networking opportunities cant be beat.
I have been told by almost everyone who has been through it, and this includes a couple of the lecturers that its intensive and requires a serious committment.

[Solachica]

It is rushed.

[miktay]

Don't waste ur time with an MBA.

U will get all the training u need by starting ur own bidnezz.

group work

[Solachica]

Its not free BW. 50%

Our MBA options leave one pretty much screwed. You are essentially expected to sit down and buss your head for 2 years. Not realistic for postgraduate study in many fields.

We need something that you are not being rushed to complete in a short time frame. Something that you can pursue at your own pace, even if that means just one or two courses per semester.

Lok Jack's options seem really good, but the level of commitment required is substantial.

Its not free BW. 50%

how much does tuition run?

[Solachica]

Thousands, even with 50%

[straphanger]

MBA, MSc and MA are the only masters degrees in Trini??
why are MHAs, MPAs, MPHs etc less popular?

[BW]

Thousands, even with 50%

I have gotten the same consensus

Where are they in the forefront of business practice?

[Solachica]

tens of thousands or regular thousands?

Tens of thousands. You pay in £££ for schools like sbcs.
Eg. You pay £100 to register to write an exam.

Cud all add up to like $70k or more and thts with Gate.

A msc I looking at is $40k and with Gate $20k but they want tht $20k upfront. I guess to deter people from dropping out? Me ent kno.

Upfront? And how long 2 get the degree?

These people joking...

Pay as u go iz tr only way 2 fund anything these days.

[Solachica]

It is a msc at uwi, 2yrs full time or 3 part time I think. But either way they want the $20k upfront.
