Does anyone know how much cost per course in the MBA program of University of Calgary? And how much cost for the whole MBA program? Thanks.

roughly $1200 / course X 20 courses i believe

actually they sent this to me last summer, so it is relatively accurate, and X 20 courses

Thanks! I didn't know MBA courses are that expensive (~ double the cost of one grad course)

The ones who are doing MBA or has MBA, do you think having the MBA help you alot at work? I checked the other post, there's a person saying that you probably need 5-10 years work experience before taking MBA. I agree that having some work experience is beneficial to get an idea of the business/industry...

yeah its pointless getting an MBA if you dont have work experience

But there are other alternatives to that. My company has promised paying half of my MBA cost so I might as well take it because the opportunity is there.

Are you in the oil and gas industry?

Most people who do an MBA with little work experience are doing a thesis based MBA. Other than that I would say you are best off hitting the workforce for a few years and getting to a more managerial role as that is what it is focused on.

So is it usually the case that a person who is already a manager then he/she goes to take MBA or the other way around? Thanks.
