Seeking Advice on Pursuing an MBA for Career Advancement in the USA

[leop25]

Hello everyone,

I'm seeking advice on which degree I should pursue to enhance my qualifications and prepare for a potential move to the USA in the next 1-2 years. I want to ensure that the program I choose aligns with my professional goals and personal commitments. Below, I've filled out a template with my current situation and preferences. I would greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations you might have. Thank you in advance for your help!

**Your Location:** Germany  
**Your Age:** 31 years  
**What kind of degree do you want?:** MBA  
**Current Regional Accredited Credits:** Bachelor of Arts from a German university  
**Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:** None  
**Any certifications or military experience?:** None  
**Budget:** Preferably under $10,000  
**Commitments:** Family and full-time work at a large European bank in the HR IT sector  
**Dedicated time to study:** Limited due to full-time work and family commitments  
**Timeline:** Completion in 1-2 years  


**Additional Information:** I plan to move to the USA in the next 1-2 years and want to further qualify myself in the meantime to build a network in the USA and increase my professional value. I am open to programs that offer flexible learning formats, such as online courses. I am considering the Executive MBA program from Valar/Quantic, where I would receive a scholarship that reduces costs by about 60%. However, I am uncertain because it is not fully accredited in the USA. I am looking for a cost-effective program that can be completed quickly and fits within my budget constraints.
