It can be considered, however, it will vary from college to college on how they will need you to provide the proof of your work experience. It may be as simple as providing your CV or you may also have to provide other proof. You should check with the colleges to find out what they need from your situation.

Added on October 8, 2009, 11:55 pmThere are many MBA programmes offered in Malaysia, some that are accredited by MQA, some not. It depends on your needs as the private sector does look at the accreditation part in terms of employment. If you plan to work for the government or become a lecturer, you will not be able to do that.

MBA programmes also vary in terms of subjects and specializations. From your work experience, you will need to decide which MBA course contains the subjects that are most applicable to your current or future work. Then, only choose the college. For example, UCSI University's MBA programme includes and incorporates the latest contents and components that will train graduate students in the disciplines of Business Law (including current issues surrounding the field of franchising, logistics and strategic economics, etc)

It is highly recommended to work for about 2-3 years before taking up the MBA as the programme basically is to provide you business and management knowledge and how to apply it to your work. If you have not worked, you may not gain as much from it as you would with work experience.

In addition, there are also different modes of delivery which you should consider as to which one would fit you. Generally they are coursework, exam based, online, online support, group work, classroom, etc.

Other entry requirements are English using TOEFL or IELTS.

Cheers.

Added on October 9, 2009, 12:02 amI think other than the quality of the MBA, most of us considering or at one point considered doing the MBA, are the tuition fees and location. Since we are working, we have to juggle our finances. Note that you can withdraw from your EPF Account 2 to fund part of your studies.

As most of us would know, working in the Klang Valley, location would be important to consider because of the traffic jam and parking. Just some points to consider.

There are some MBA programmes which are not of high standard or quality out there and we should be discerning on choosing the right one. Just because it is popular does not mean that it is good. It may be popular because it is cheap or easier to complete. I suppose it depends on your reasons for wanting to do the MBA.

Cheers

I have heard of Newcastle University from Australia or UK but not from the USA even though I graduated from there. If it is so difficult to check this university from the USA, I would think that it would be dubious. You should also check with MQA. What is your budget and location to do your MBA?
