For someone with in-state/city tuition this definitely is a bargain.
you get what you pay for... university of phoenix online is also a "bargain"
besides MFE from Baruch will allow you to fetch lunch for someone with M.S in Comp Finance from Columbia, Chicago,NYU, Berkeley, or Carnegie Mellon......
getting back to the Asian MBA subject, I spoke with someone who went to NYU and exchanged to HKUST, from what he told me it is the "real deal" over there, especially in Finance.
You're nuts the only thing Ivy buy's you these days is contacts and connections other than that its a waste of fucking money get your foot in the door and your hard work will out shine the school you came from.
MBA from any Ivy League is a ticket to interviews and probably ease into selection for the job. As to say some program is better than other means nothing, 'cause once a person is out in the world, then for him/her to give up on continuing self learning will start to show cracks soon.
It depends on a person once out in the world. Does marrying a supermodel woman guarantee a 'happy ever after' scenario...not at all, infact brings more stress and pressure of sorts.
I believe class room teaching is more to do with proving that you can work alot with focus and efficiency. The real learning is done outside when facing the real world experience.
Btw, most of the graduate programs are a repitition of the Undergrad coursework anyways. Throw in an extra research report, a case study every week and some presentation and aggressive rebuttal and the new course is the DREADED MBA front line. I learned more about stock market by reading good books/bestsellers and watching CNBC/Bloomberg than any Investing 900000009 course book will try to teach.

thats certainly true for an MBA in the US, perhaps thats why Asian MBAs are surfacing now, and more people are looking at them as an alternative.
Lets take this HK UST b-school for example,
Courses in the China Business concentration:
China in the Global Economy
China's Economic Reform and Development
China's External Relations
China's Industry Analysis
Politics and Socioeconomic Environment of China
Investment and Finance in China
Venture Capital in Asia
Leading in Asia for the Future
Management in a Chinese Context
Managing Alliances in China
Doing Business in China
Tough to find this content anywhere in the US, probably possible with combining MBA with M.A international relations, but it still would not be the same thing..
Hong Kong UST is the Asian MIT/Columbia.
