Help：MBA in energy industry

legnawen

I have a background in naval architect and currently working as marine consultant for nearly 4 years. I want to pursue MBA and was wondering which has better career prospects- MBA in Energy Managment or MBA in consulting. I am open for changing my career field.
Besides, my GPA in bachelor is below 3.0. I have no competition on applying for the top20 business school.So, I want to know the 'top business school'in erergy industry. Who can tell me?

In addition, I want to take my MBA in Europe for it will cost one year.

Hope get your suggestions. Thanks a lot.

General management or Operation 是美国MBA的一个方向，但是不会细化到energy management.

UT Austin has pretty decent connections to energy companies. So is Rice University. A sub-3.0 GPA wouldn't necessarily exclude you from the top programs, but you would have some convincing to do.

同意，就像想去华尔街最好去纽约的学校一样，想去大石油公司的话去靠近休斯顿的

学校机会会多一些

Hey there!  The answer is that there are MANY programs out there (if you are not set on a top 20 program) that offer great, specialized programs in energy management.  If you wanna go to school in the US, you could also consider Rice, which offers a number of programs (beyond the traditional 2 year program).  Same with UT Austin, if you are okay with the US.  In terms of international programs, INSEAD is probably your best bet.  But you may not get in, as you know.  So at that point, consider University of Aberdeen, or perhaps even Robert Gorden University.  Both are in Scotland, where there is lots of cool stuff going on.  And finally, look into SMU.  All good options in your field.
