FAQ

What is the English proficiency requirement for this program?

This program necessitates an advanced level of English, including fluent oral communication skills. If your current English proficiency does not meet this standard, a language bridge class is available. You can study language courses overseas first (without a paid position during this period) and then proceed to the official MBA program upon meeting the requirement.

Is employment guaranteed during the study period?

The program provides recommendations for paid internship placements and interview coaching services. Positions starting at $17/hour have a low entry barrier, allowing students to begin working without extensive prior experience. Consistent attendance ensures income can stably cover living expenses.

What are the options after the 3-year OPT concludes?

During the 3-year OPT period, you can gain valuable work experience in the U.S. and apply for an H1B work visa to extend your stay. Alternatively, returning to China with an overseas MBA degree and three years of U.S. work experience will provide a strong competitive advantage in the domestic job market.

How does the cost compare to traditional study abroad programs?

Traditional U.S. MBA programs typically cost between ¥650,000 and ¥2.3 million, offering only one year of OPT. Our paid study abroad program costs approximately ¥400,000, includes two years of part-time income totaling ¥280,000, and three years of OPT income exceeding ¥750,000. This results in an overall economic advantage of over ¥600,000.

What happens if my visa application is denied?

You are eligible for a 50% refund before obtaining an F-1 visa. No refund is provided after obtaining an F-1 visa if the withdrawal is due to personal reasons. Third-party fees charged by overseas institutions are subject to their individual policies.
