However, only 765,438+0% schools need GMAT scores for EMBA, with an average score of over 530, while overseas students only need TOEFL scores of 550. However, this does not mean that EMBA admission is easy. Schools pay more attention to students' work experience, work ability, expert recommendation letters and interview results.
EMBA students require work experience, and many of them can get financial support from the company. In the United States, EMBA students come from various companies, such as manufacturing departments, financial departments, trade departments, government departments and so on. In Canada, more EMBA students come from government departments. Their average education age is 38 years old, 96% of them have obtained a bachelor's degree, and they generally have 10 years of management experience, with an annual income of $78,000. 60% EMBA programs offer courses in international business, trade and finance. There is also the 10% project, in which the school will organize students to go abroad for a week-long academic visit on an international issue. Some colleges offer a series of lectures on celebrities, inviting successful entrepreneurs, government officials and celebrities to give lectures to students and communicate with them.
In foreign countries, further study is regarded as an investment. Students who study EMBA hope to invest tens of thousands of dollars in two years, and it should not be a problem to get a return after studying. And Amy. People with BA study background and years of work experience are very popular with employers.
At present, the tuition standards of different schools vary greatly, with an average annual tuition of $65,438+$065,438+$0,000 per person, and the tuition of famous schools is as high as $25,000.
An MBA is an MBA.
EMBA refers to the MBA course that you study online, and then take the MBA master's degree. However, the gold content of the general EMBA is much smaller. In fact, there are very few people in China who are qualified to get an MBA certificate. EMBA mostly invites teachers from local colleges and universities to give lectures to some principals and administrators, which is just a formality.

The full English name of EMBA is Executive Master of Business Administration, which is literally translated as MBA for senior managers. It was initiated by the School of Management of the University of Chicago. EMBA students are generally recommended by companies, and concentrate on classes in their spare time, with a wide range of courses and a balance between theory and practice. Its essence is a kind of on-the-job training with a degree, which is of great significance to managers who have not an MBA degree but have been promoted to the middle and high levels of the company.

Under the background of global economic integration, especially since China joined the World Trade Organization, China enterprises are facing more complicated competition and more severe challenges. Therefore, it is more urgent for top managers of enterprises to systematically learn management knowledge and improve their management ability. The State Council Academic Degrees Committee recently approved 30 universities in China to offer executive master of business administration education for the first time, which is of great significance for training senior managers and improving the EMBA education system.
EMBA is a special form of MBA degree education, and their positioning is different. Because the MBA entrance examination requires foreign languages and mathematics, it sets a threshold for those executives who have rich management experience but have left the examination environment for many years. At present, the MBA in China is younger, and the high test scores are often young people who have graduated from college for about 3 years and have strong test-taking ability. The written test and interview of EMBA entrance are organized by the training unit itself, and the threshold is greatly reduced. Of course, this does not mean that any boss or boss can go to EMBA. Recently, Tsinghua University turned down a boss who was willing to spend $250,000 to study but didn't meet the requirements. According to national regulations, the on-the-job senior managers of large enterprises must have a bachelor's degree or above and have more than 8 years of work experience (including more than 4 years of management experience) before they can register. There are also great differences between the two in teaching mode. MBA mostly adopts the mode of "teaching+case analysis+team discussion", while EMBA pays more attention to the combination of courses and students' practical experience on the basis of inspiration, so it is more suitable for senior managers who are actually fighting in shopping malls. Nanjing University limits the number of EMBA students to 100. About 50% of the foreign teachers will be professors from Harvard and the University of Southern California, and 80% of these foreign teachers are from China, in order to have more "interaction" between students and teachers.
The EMBA literally translates as "executive master of business administration". March is the golden period of EMBA enrollment, and all EMBA programs are trying their best to make applicants "spend money like water and attract people". Which EMBA is right for you? Classifying and refining these EMBA programs will help readers polish their eyes and choose carefully.
EMBA needs at different price levels are different.
The "value" of EMBA has always been the most concerned topic, and some training institutions have begun to play price cards to attract students of different levels, and some "private" EMBAs have been playing low prices. Talking about the reasons, Shao Ming Lu, chairman of Beijing Guanghua Management Research Center, said that the market for middle and senior professional managers is below 654.38+10,000 yuan, and these people have great room for improvement and strong demand for their own charging. However, "time-honored brands" such as Peking University, Tsinghua and Fudan still maintain high prices, and Fudan's EMBA even raised the price. They are aimed at the relatively stable group of senior managers in large enterprises, so the price can also remain stable.
The characteristic EMBA classified by major is more popular.
Some EMBA training institutions offer "featured" EMBA courses according to hot industries in the market. Because the course is set in a hot industry, it gives people a sense of "following the fashion". When interviewing Zhou Huajun, the head of EMBA of China Europe International Business School, the reporter learned that EMBA is a training course aimed at the comprehensive ability of senior decision makers, and there should be no obvious tendency according to international trends. However, some hot industries in China are developing rapidly, which are closely related to the international community. Objectively, they have a demand for EMBA, so it is appropriate to "customize" a directional EMBA for them.
EMBA plays a "brand" role in international cooperation in running schools.
It is a "popular trend" in this market to cooperate with foreign universities to run EMBA. But how do domestic universities choose their partners? Are there any corresponding standards and conditions? Wang, head of Peking University's international MBA program, told reporters that a key factor in choosing a partner institution is to ensure that students get an authoritative EMBA diploma. Because world-renowned business schools, such as Harvard, will not cooperate with other institutions with their famous EMBA programs. In other words, even if there are EMBA programs of brands such as Harvard in China, they can only get a course completion certificate, not a diploma. If students spend hundreds of thousands of yuan in tuition fees and finally can't get the authentic certificate, it's very worthwhile. Therefore, how to ensure the gold content of the EM-BA certificate is the most important selection condition and cooperation basis for Sino-foreign EMBA cooperation projects.
MBA stands for Master of Business Administration in English and MBA in Chinese. MBA is the product of market economy. It trains high-quality and leading professional enterprise management talents to master multidisciplinary knowledge and management skills such as production, finance, finance, marketing, economic regulations and international business, and has strategic planning vision and keen insight. MBA degree is a degree that pays attention to the cultivation of compound and comprehensive talents, and it is a degree that ability cultivation is more important than knowledge transmission. It teaches "management" facing actual combat, not "management" focusing on research. It requires its graduates to have adaptability, predictive ability, comprehensive ability and organizational ability to develop and win in the ever-changing world market and international competition. Its course content involves management, economics, finance, finance, law and so on. Ability training not only pays attention to organizational and leadership skills, but also involves eloquence-based communication skills, the ability to grasp the overall situation, think sharply, judge and deal with problems.
MBA is the first widely accepted international degree. MBA is a graduate degree, which is the most needed quality, knowledge and academic standard for MBA. Generally, you have to have the first degree to enter MBA study, except for a few people with rich professional experience.
MBA is a degree with work experience. After three years of professional experience, it is regarded as a career accelerator or a means of transformation.
The MBA course covers all the main functions of modern management, such as accounting, finance, marketing and sales, logistics (production) management, information system management, law, human resource management and so on. It also provides basic economic and quantitative analysis. The course is very comprehensive, including industrial and commercial policies and strategies. In addition, the course also requires students to acquire knowledge and skills of integrating theory with practice, such as decision-making ability, teamwork, leadership ability, entrepreneurial potential, negotiation ability, communication and reporting ability. In the process of learning, students should have elective preferences and choose majors.
The minimum study period of MBA is full-time one year or corresponding on-the-job study time weight. The MBA needs at least 400 hours of classroom study, and the whole course needs at least 1200 hours of personal homework. MBA programs require a thirst for knowledge and personal dedication and efforts.
Entering the MBA program must go through a rigorous screening process to ensure that only those qualified candidates can get an MBA degree. All students must pass strict examination, marking and grading to ensure that the learning objectives can meet the standards of MBA degree.
Not all business schools can meet these standards. If they can't meet these standards, they can't be called a real MBA.
The difference between MBA and MBA
First of all, the application conditions are different. As long as the MBA meets the national unified registration conditions, that is to say, both fresh graduates and on-the-job personnel can apply for it. To apply for an MBA, one must have three years or more work experience after graduating from university; Persons with 5 years or above working experience after graduating from junior college; Persons who have obtained master's degree or doctor's degree and have two years or more work experience (graduation date to admission date).
Secondly, the examination subjects are different. The entrance examination of MBA should take the entrance examination of 62 pilot universities in China, and the entrance examination subjects are politics, mathematics, English, management, Chinese and logic.
Third, the difficulty of the test questions is different. Generally speaking, it is more difficult to take the unified national entrance examination for MBA in English and mathematics than MBA. However, due to the rapid increase in the number of MBA applicants in China in recent years, the competition has become increasingly fierce.
Fourth, the training methods are different. MBA students are generally trained by the state, with a monthly subsidy of more than 200 yuan, as well as entrusted and self-funded students. All MBA students are self-funded or entrusted by the company.
Fifth, the training objectives are different. The training goal of MBA is excellent entrepreneurs and practitioners. For example, MBA graduates from Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management should be competent for middle and senior positions in industrial and commercial enterprises and economic management departments, and they are compound talents who can adapt to the fierce competition in the future society. The MBA program of Guanghua School of Management of Peking University is aimed at multinational corporations, large state-owned enterprises, large private enterprises and large financial institutions. Guanghua School of Management is committed to helping the management team of multinational companies localize, the management of national enterprises internationalize and the management of private enterprises modernize. Therefore, MBA courses pay attention to practicality. The master of business administration should not only train the actual managers of enterprises, but also attach importance to the theoretical education of management science for students and train successors for the development of disciplines.
Under normal circumstances, MBA graduates have a solid theoretical foundation, and MBA students can quickly adapt to the actual work of enterprises because they have considerable practical experience before entering school and pay attention to the combination of practice in the learning process.

One question I once asked was whether a person should be engaged in a career like DBA. This question is not easy to answer because it varies from person to person. Some people have the talent to be a good DBA. Others think it is not easy to master the secret of becoming a DBA. DBA occupation needs to master certain skills. And there are unnecessary requirements of other IT occupations. Therefore, in order to answer this question, I usually describe the necessary requirements for a DBA career to people who will become DBA. In the following paragraphs, I will end with a question. Please take some time to think and answer these questions before going to the next paragraph.
Many people are determined to become DBA for many reasons. One of the main reasons is salary. DBA is one of the highest paid occupations in IT industry. Others want to be a DBA because they like to praise DBA for his honor, or because he looks cool! Personally, I think it is worthwhile to become a DBA. This is an interesting and exciting career. So, what is the reason why you regard DBA as a possible career choice?
Unless you are prepared in advance, you may find that being a DBA is full of setbacks and headaches. Databases exist between the operating system and end-user applications. Similarly, DBA must be very proficient in the operating system where the database is located. A DBA doesn't necessarily need to know all the knowledge of the operating system, but the more he knows, the better. The database is closely related to the operating system. It is necessary to understand this connection. The DBA also needs to understand the server hardware and how it affects and helps the database. At the same time, DBA must know the application software. DBA may be asked to help developers create reliable and good database applications. In addition, the most important and obvious point is that DBA must thoroughly understand the database engine, how it works, how all engines are combined, and how it affects the ability of the database engine to transmit data to end users and applications. The best DBAs I have ever met have a very deep understanding, and not only in the database itself. They know something about system management and application development. Many times they have one or two backgrounds before they become DBA. In any case, to be a qualified DBA rather than an excellent DBA requires a lot of background knowledge. Are you ready to start studying until you feel that you can't learn any more?
Many people I have met who have difficulties in starting their DBA career actually have some problems when trying to absorb a lot of information that a DBA needs to know. After all, the system administrator studies the details of the operating system full time. Application developers learn how to write good programs full-time. DBA should not only know these two different jobs very well, but also spend more time to understand the database architecture and how each part fits together! Does this sound daunting? Many people think so after failure, and regard DBA work as a very difficult thing. Others spread and understand all this information and use it to make good, technical-sounding decisions. When I was a DBA, I often said that all this was a big mystery to me. It is a challenge to combine all these well. What kind of person are you?
Many database administrators are always on call. They will get a call at any time of day or night to solve the fatal problem in their database. Database is an indispensable part of the basic organization of business information technology. Without data, there is no need for a computer system. Data-driven services. What will happen if Amazon can't search for products in the database and no one can place an order for their products? It won't exist in business for long. Database downtime, even for a short time, the company will lose a lot. Therefore, the DBA must solve the problem as soon as possible after arriving at the scene. Many companies have their own DBA teams, so they can take turns to stand by. These database administrators maintain database applications around the clock. Are you ready to be on call if the job requires you?
Some DBA's responsibilities include patching software or making some changes to the database. Usually, these operations can't be carried out when employees are working, because the database must be running at this time before they can work. This means that DBAs often finish their work early in the middle of the night or even on weekends, that is, outside normal working hours. Are you going to work in abnormal hours, or are you looking for a job from nine to five?
For DBA, an important content to master is what is usually called "soft technology". DBA needs to work well in the team, usually the team is changing, such as system administrator, network administrator, application developer, project manager and so on. DBA should be able to explain complex technical concepts in fluent English so that others in the team can understand them. DBA should also be able to guide team members to solve database-related problems. How is your soft technology?
The following list is not exhaustive, but it includes the typical responsibilities of a DBA:
Monitor database instances daily to ensure their availability. Solve the problem of unavailability.
Collect system statistics and performance information for positioning and configuration analysis.
Configure and tune database instances to achieve optimal performance with application-specific requirements.
Analyze and manage database security. Control and monitor users' access to the database. Audit the use of the database when necessary.
Monitor the backup program. Provide recovery when necessary. Test the backup and recovery process.
Upgrade the RDBMS software and use patches if necessary. If necessary, upgrade or migrate the database instance.
Support application developers through database-related operations.
Track database trends and technologies. Use new technology when applicable. Install, test and evaluate new related Oracle products.
Perform storage and physical design. Balance design issues to achieve performance optimization.
Create, configure and design database instances of letters.
Diagnose, troubleshoot and solve any database-related problems. If necessary, please contact Oracle technical support to solve the problem better.
Ensure that Oracle network software (SQL*Net, Net8, Names, OiD) is configured and running well.
With the system administrator (UNIX &; NT) to ensure that Oracle-related transactions are handled well.
Create any necessary scripts for effective and regular maintenance of the database.
The questions in the previous paragraphs make you think about what a DBA should do and help you decide whether this is suitable for your career. I'm not saying that if your goal is to become a DBA, these will stop you. I just want to show some facts. I have seen some DBAs collapse once they are hit by practical work. They spent time, energy and some money to get their first DBA job. Personally, I think this profession is very valuable. I can't imagine what else to do now. So, this paragraph helps you decide whether this is what you want to do. If so, then try your best to get it!
How do I get my first DBA job?
You read the previous paragraph and think that becoming a DBA is a good career. Congratulations! I hope your career can be as exciting and meaningful as you think. So, how did you find your first DBA job? I have heard this question many times.
In the early 1990s, the Internet developed rapidly. It grew out of the company like grass. Companies swarmed in and began to create their online image. Almost all these companies with websites need a database as the background of web applications. Unfortunately, there were not so many DBAs in this field at that time. In the IT industry, DBA has become extremely scarce. During that time, getting a job as a DBA seemed as long as you could spell "Oracle" or maybe you just had access to the database for one semester in college. In order to make life better, the lack of DBA urges companies to pay high salaries to potential employees. If you want to be a DBA, it's easy, very easy. What you need to do is to prove that you know what a database is, and then the work will appear in front of you earlier than you expected.
Then the internet bubble burst. Companies that put a large number of Internet products into operation went bankrupt. Many DBAs working for the company are looking for jobs again. It is much easier for companies that lack DBA to find people with DBA experience than before. At the beginning of the 20th century, life was not easy (at least in America) because of the unstable economy. Companies have tightened their belts. All these lead to fewer job opportunities and job vacancies for DBA candidates.
The hardest part of getting the first DBA job is that every position requires some work experience. If you look at it from the company's point of view, you can understand why experience is necessary for the DBA position. If he has no experience, will you pay this person a high salary to operate, maintain and run the largest and most important part of your IT infrastructure? Will your company pay an inexperienced DBA? Moreover, when he grows up, he may lose millions of income. For most companies, the answer to these questions is definitely' no'. Therefore, it is difficult to get the first DBA job without experience.
The first DBA job is now a vicious circle. How can I get the job of DBA if I don't have any experience? How can I gain DBA experience without a job? This is the most difficult obstacle to overcome. The hardest part is getting the first DBA job. The rest of this section will give you some suggestions to achieve the goal of your first DBA job.
Tip # 1: Get an education. -Learn as much as possible about the database. This is likely to take up part of your time and energy outside your normal work. Participate in database training courses organized by local universities. Many training companies hold training courses for database administrators. If your boss doesn't fund your study, you may have to pay for it yourself. Many DBA occupations require at least a bachelor's degree in computer science or related majors, so you should have at least that diploma.
Tip 2: Train to be a DBA. -Many database vendors allow you to download beta or evaluation versions of their database systems. Download a copy and install the software on your personal computer. Practice using the database. Deliberately destroy the database and try to repair it. Perform as many DBA duties as you can think of. Test and hone your skills on your own test platform, so that you can prove your database management ability.
Tip 3: Get certified. -Many database providers provide their own database product certification. Nowadays, many companies regard certification as a standard. One thing to remember is that certification alone is not enough. Passing the DBA certification test doesn't mean you know how to manage the database. This is just to tell your future boss that you have certain skills now. This also tells your boss that you are serious about DBA work. I have seen many people complain that they are certified but inexperienced, but they still can't get their first DBA job. Certification itself can't get you a job, but it doesn't hurt. If nothing else, you learned a lot during the certification. Just don't rely on certification to bring you the job you want. You need more than that. But it will help you in the end.
Tip 4: Use your existing skills. -Many DBAs have a system administrator background. Others have application development backgrounds. If possible, see if you can use your existing skills to find a job. The goal now is to create a win-win situation for you and your boss. For example, let's assume that you are already a system administrator and want to enter the DBA field. Maybe you will find a job in which you can use your system management skills for part of the time and dabble in the field of database management for the rest of the time. If you are already a DBA of one product platform, but want to switch to other product platforms, see if you can find a job that contacts two product platforms at the same time. This way, both the company and you get what you want. After you are instructed to be a DBA, you can try to find a full-time job, maybe even full-time.
