QUESTIONS - ANSWERS about MIC MBA

Dear Benjamin
Thank you for your interest in the Management Institute of Canada.

Here are the answers to your questions:

I was introduced to this site by an MIC Student, a Mr. Patrick Kibe late yesterday, looking through the site, I became interested in pursuing an MBA at MIC however it only shows General MBA Program with Areas of Specialization in Management. My queries are:-

QUESTION 1) Should I only start after finalizing the admission process? Or can I start concurrently with the admission process?

You should first email us your documents, then we send them to the Admission Committee for evaluation, and once you are admitted, you will receive an Admission Letter with all information related to your courses, the starting date of your Program and a Deadline for your payment.
As soon as we receive the first installment of your payment, you will receive a letter of welcome from our webmaster, including a Guideline for the E-Learning System, and your Username and Password, allowing you to have access to your own Webpage which will be automatically created in your name. On this page you will find all the required materials for your courses.

Every week, you should study a new chapter of your course.

QUESTION 2) Are there other areas of specialization apart from Management? And how do I view these?

In the MBA program, you can choose an area of study in Management, Marketing and Human Resource Management. For all these areas, you will study the same courses, but you should start the Research Project from the 8th month of your MBA (after finishing 8 courses) under one of our Research Directors. Your Research Project will be oriented towards the area of study you choose.
This is just to remind you that MIC offers an MBA in Media and Communication, created together with AIBD (under UNESCO) for Asian and African countries, but the cost and structure is different from regular MBAs. To read more about this program, please see this page: www.micanada.org/mba.htm

You can read more about the MIC MBA Program here:  MBA Student Guideline 2008 >>>

QUESTION 3) Must I take only one course per month/semester? Or can I take as many courses as I can manage?

In the new system we have organized, you can have more courses if you wish, but the Examination Date is only at the end of each month.
You can finish your MBA sooner, if you have the aptitude, and register in (maximum) 2 courses at the same time, and take your examinations at the end of the month.

QUESTION 4) Must I finish my studies strictly within 16 months?

The MBA we are offering is based on 12 courses and takes only 12 months. This is the new system we set up starting in September 2008.
All courses will be uploaded progressively and students can take 1 or 2 courses if they wish and even finish their MBA in a period less than 12 months. This page will give you more information on our MBA structure:

QUESTION 5) Does that mean that I can also finish my MBA over a longer period, like in 16 months or 2 years?

Absolutely. You can follow your own rhythm.


QUESTION 6) How about if I interrupt my studies after a few months at MIC? What will happen with the courses I have studied?

If, for any reason, you are not able to continue your courses as planned, you can ask MIC to deliver a Course Certificate for every single course you have successfully passed. 

This system allows students to come back to MIC at anytime to finish their program, MBA or any other program, depending on their availability.


QUESTION 7) How can I apply, and how long does it take to be admitted?

You should scan all the following documents and send them to us by email. Please send all of them in one attachment:

Admission Requirements

        Resume (CV)

        A photo

        A copy of official transcripts of your last university degree

        A copy of your university degrees  

        A copy of the first two pages of your passport

        TOEFL results (at least 500, or a computer test score of 173)
(If you do not have a TOEFL result, please contact our office at: admin@micanada.net)
 

As soon as we receive your full application with all the required items, it may take around one week to receive an answer from the Admission Committee.
 

QUESTION 6 ) How about the scholarship?

The regular tuition fee for students from overseas, offered by MCOPOP, is $8,600 US.
The scholarship covers only a percentage of the tuition fee. (This is not a full scholarship.)
MIC scholarships cover between 30% and 45% of this amount.
If an applicant obtains the highest scholarship (45%), he or she will only be required to pay $4730 US.
