FAQS
 

1. Where do I get my MBA degree from?
 
You get an MBA degree from OHIO University, USA, fully accredited by the AACSB-International, a global accreditation.
 
2. Is the course offered in Bangalore same as that offered in USA?
  The courses offered in India and the USA is same. However, we have intentionally customized some course contents to suit the Indian corporate environment. This accounts to about 20% of the course material.
   
3. What about the faculty?
  A major part of the course is delivered by the OHIO University Faculty. All of them are PhD holders, engaged in research in their respective fields and have taught students and executives all across the globe.
   
4. Will the OHIO MBA equip me to be effective in the Indian corporate scenario?
 
Yes. There are built in mechanisms that help you appreciate domestic business situations. For instance, the course on Domestic Business Environment, running throughout the program, talks about Indian business environment from Economic and legal perspectives. This course helps students to apply concepts learnt in other modules to various domestic business situations.
 

Similarly, the course on Financial Institutions and Markets, Advertising & Brand Management, Business-to-Business Marketing as well as Sales & Distribution brings several cases relevant to the Indian business context.

 

Further, guest speaker series arranged throughout the course helps students to exchange views/experiences with working business executives.

 
5. I am in the final year of my undergraduate program. Am I eligible to apply to OHIO MBA?
 

Yes. You are eligible to apply. You will be offered a tentative admission upon selection and you will have to furnish your final year marks card within three months from the start of the program.

   
6. US universities ask for 16 years of schooling before admitting. Do I have to have sixteen years of schooling before joining your program?
  No. It is sufficient if you have 15-years of education for the admission. All students enrolled in India will undergo bridge program for initial three months. Hence, 15 years of education is sufficient for admission.
   
7. Are scholarships available?
  Graduate Assistantships (GAs) are provided to deserving students each year, which entails assisting Professors, taking tuition classes, doing research etc.
   
8. Other MBA programs in India are of two-year duration. Will I lose out some papers, if I join a program of 21-month duration?
 
No. You will not lose out any paper in the OHIO MBA program although the program duration is 21-months. The duration is in line with the MBA Program at the home campus in Athens, Ohio, USA. Because the program is structured around 13-14 hour working days with minimum number of holidays in between. All our students get vacation only twice during the program. Another reason for the short duration is the existence of a bridge quarter. Bridge or Zero quarter provides fundamentals of Business mathematics, Economics, Accounting, Business communication, personality development and computer skills. This brings every student to a common skill level (irrespective of his/her undergraduate education background) and thus helps to pitch the program at a higher level than other business programs in India.
