Tips

usage
Spoken as three English letters M-B-A, not spelled in Chinese. The Chinese translation 工商管理硕士 (gōngshāng guǎnlǐ shuòshì) exists but is rarely used conversationally — even the degree certificate is usually referred to as MBA.
culture
MBAs exploded in China in the 2000s — top programs include 中欧国际工商学院 (CEIBS) and 长江商学院 (CKGSB). Widely seen as a career-lift credential for 35-year-olds in management roles.
