[미국MBA] 캘리포니아 주립대 UC Irvine MBA -Merage School 비즈니스 위크지 MBA랭킹 31위 소식

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

안녕하세요! 반달곰원장입니다.

 

 

 

반달곰원장이 직장인들을 가장 많이 도와드리는 학교가 UC Irvine이 아닐까 생각이 듭니다. 얼바인이라는 도시가 살기좋고 안전한 곳이라 한국의 부모님들이 선호하는 곳이고 UC Irvine 자체가 가지고 있는 프로그램이 기업에서 선발되신 해외연수대상자 분들에게 딱 알맞는 프로그램들을 가지고 있기 때문입니다.

 

 

 

즉, 영어어학연수 프로그램인 4W 8W, 12W, 10W ESL프로그램들이 잘 갖추어져 있습니다.

 

10-Week Intensive ESL

4, 8, and 12-Week Business English

4, 8, and 12-Week Conversation & Culture

 

 

 

그리고 비즈니스전문가 연수과정인 ACP과정들도 잘 갖추어져 있는데 그 주요과정들을 살펴보면 아래와 같습니다.

 

 

• ACP Business Administration

 

 

• ACP International Business Operations & Management 
• ACP International Finance
• ACP International Business Law
• ACP Global Human Resources Management
• ACP Marketing
• ACP Media & Global Communications
• ACP International Tourism & Hotel Management

 

 

 

이렇게 어학연수와 비즈니스전문연수가 잘 구성되어 있어서 많은 사람들이 선호하는데 재밌는 것은 이것이 전부가 아니라는 것입니다. UC Irvine의 Business School인 Merage MBA school이 점점 실력을 인정받고 랭킹이 계속 해서 올라간다는 사실입니다. 살기좋고 안전한 것이 MBA학생들에게도 좋은 것은 말할 것도 없겠지요. 그래서 훌륭한 학생들과 교수들이 모여서 그럴까요! UC Irvine MBA에 대한 문의가 늘고 관심이 높아지고 있습니다. 그리고 MBA랭킹 발표하는 언론지 마다 UC Irvine Merage MBA 를 상당히 상위 랭킹으로 자리해둠으로써 그 위기는 지속적으로 갈 것 같습니다.

 

 

 

얼마전 발표된 Bloomberg Businessweek에서 발표한 2014년도 미국MBA 랭킹을 보면 UC Irvine Merage MBA가 31위에 랭크되었습니다. 이제 곧 탑 30위안에 들어올 태세입니다. UC계열에서는 UC Berkeley(19위),UCLA(11위) 다음으로 높은 등수입니다. 참고로 이번 Bloomberg Businessweek지에서는 MBA 랭킹 전체 1위로 DUKE University 의 Fuqua MBA를 선정하였습니다. 정말 다른 MBA랭킹하고는 다른 순위지만 참으로 신선한 것 같습니다. 반면 하버드는 8위를 차지하였습니다.

 

 

 

UC Irvine Paul Merage School of Business는 2012년도 랭킹보다 12단계 상승하였으며, 최고의 인증기관인 AACSB 인증받은 학교의 탑 6%안에 드는 학교로 인정받은 것이라 의미가 있습니다. 많은 분들이 UC Berkeley Haas School, UCLA Anderson School만을 선호하였는데 이제는 Paul Merage School도 주요 타겟 MBA가 될 것 같습니다. 이 Merage MBA가 입학하기 위해서는 아래와 같은 admission requirements가 필요합니다.

Interview

 

 

 

GMAT의 하하선은 없으나 과거 MBA학생들의 GMAT평균이 670-675 점임을 강조하고 있습니다. 적어도 680점이상을 받을 때 안전하고 650점이상은 최소한 있으셔야 지원하기에 수월하겠습니다. 그리고 영어 토플은 IBT 80, PBT 600, IELTS는 7.0D이어야 합니다. 그런데 조금 이상하지만 PTE점수는 최소 53점이상이면 된다고 하니 참고하시길 바랍니다. PTE점수기준이 낮아서 UC IRVINE MBA 는 PTE로 준비하셔도 좋을 것 같습니다.
