Not sure where you get that information but I don't think your assumptions are accurate. Even most investment banks don't cover full MBA costs these days. In my experience it's rather rare. BP is one of the few with full tuition reimburcement.

Depends on how long you want to take the MBA. I think most companies will pay $XXX per year.

Correct. most companies do pay for $XXX per year. However, if you go to any top tier Business Schools in US, like University of Chicago, Harvard, Stanford, etc....that amount would only cover about 2/3 classes per year. That would we a very long MBA.


BTW: North Carolina (at Chapel Hill) was recently rated at #18 Business school in US. My advise, unless you're going to a top 10 school, don't waste your money. And if you're swinging for the fences at a top tier investement bank or even a hedge fund (i.e. Goldman, Lehman, Citadel etc.)....you better get that degree from the top 5 MBA school. Otherwise, just spend your money on a CFA certification, it will be worth much more in a long run than an MBA from an insignificant program.
