<p>Would an MBA from Canada or Europe be better for finance careers in the States?
For example, would the top Canadian schools Rotman/Ivey/Schulich/Queens have a better or worse reputation than a MBA from LBS/Insead/Oxford.</p>
<p>well imo LBS/INSEAD/SAID would be much much better than canadian mba schools..</p>
<p>Businessweek ranks Queen's (Canada) at #1 in the world for schools outside of the USA. How they came to this conclusion, I don't know. The average salaries of IMD, INSEAD, and LBS graduates are much higher than those from Queen's. I'd say you'd be better off going to Europe. I'm from Canada, but I'm not even considering any Canadian business school for my MBA.</p>
<p>Insead is the best. You should definitely go there! "great" luck !</p>
<p>At INSEAD you need to be bilingual to be accepted, and trilingual to graduate from their program. Look at the requirements on their page. It's dumb, but true. All I know is that I'll never be going there :(</p>
<p>In america,the education system makes it mandatory for the high school students to learn foreing language. Is it different in Canada?</p>
<p>It's mandatory from grade's 4-6 to learn French. However, after that, it's optional. I took it grade's 4-8, and I hardly remember any of it.</p>
<p>Unless you take immersion (all school done in French), you really can't get fluent in it. I know many people that took French from grade's 4-12 as a second language, and can't hold a conversation at all.</p>
<p>It's different from province to province, though. Our education system is provincial, not federal. We dont' stress a second language here in Alberta; however, we've been acknowledged as one of the best education systems in the world, alongside Japan.</p>
<p>I've actually been thinking of taking some University courses in Spanish. If I was going to learn a second language, I'd prefer Spanish to French.</p>
