(Jane Zhang has an appointment with an academic advisor to discuss her plans for studying in Canada.)
Mrs. Dustan: Hello there. You must be Jane. Please come in. My name is Mrs. Dustan.
Jane: Hello, Mrs. Dustan. Pleased to meet you.
Mrs. Dustan: All right now .... let’s see. Now, you’re interested in attending university in Canada, Is that right?
Jane: Yes. And, I have a lot of questions to ask you.
Mrs. Dustan: Okay, but before I begin to answer your questions, I need to ask you a few questions first. Hmm .... now, your major is...
Jane: Engineering, Mechanical Engineering.
Mrs. Dustan: Right. And, where did you graduate?
Jane: I graduated from the Beijing Institute of Machinery in July 1998. I completed my Bachelor’s degree.
Mrs. Dustan: Okay. Now, I’m assuming you’ll want to continue studying in that field. Am I right?
Jane: Actually, I’d prefer to do an MBA if possible. But if I have no other choice, then I’ll continue in Mechanical Engineering.
Mrs. Dustan: Okay. Now, are you familiar with the requirements for an MBA degree?
Jane: Yes, I think I need to do well on the GMAT, and I’ll definitely need the TOEFL or IELTS, right?
Mrs. Dustan: That’s right. You’ll need at least 600 on the TOEFL or 6.5 on IELTS. In addition, you need to have completed a bachelor’s degree too. Did you take the GMAT yet?
Jane: No, but I plan to take it in August.
Mrs. Dustan: The requirements for a Master’s Degree in Engineering are a little different. You’ll need to take the GRE and of course the TOEFL or IELTS.
Jane: I see. And, when do I start to apply?
Mrs. Dustan: The best time to start the application process is in November or December of the year prior to your intended year of study. Application forms are usually available in September or October.
Jane: Which schools in Canada offer the MBA degree?
Mrs. Dustan: Of the approximately 50 universities in Canada, 20 offer an MBA. Here’s a small Booklet summarizing Canadian university programs. You’ll find all the information on page 22.
Jane: Great! Thanks. And, how about tuition and scholarships?
Mrs. Dustan: Tuition for MBA programs has been steadily increasing. Some universities now charge the full tuition—meaning that there is no government subsidy. Those universities cost about$10,000 per year—and it’s a 2 year program. Other universities are still government subsidized, so the tuition is only about $4500 per year. In terms of scholarships, usually the top 5 students entering the MBA program are given a generous scholarship. All other students have to pay the full fees. International students have to pay the full tuition—that’s$10,000 per year.
Jane: Oh. Is it very difficult to get into an MBA program?
Mrs. Dustan: Yes, in fact the competition is very strong. MBA graduates have a pretty easy time finding a good job. So, many students are eager to do the program thinking it will guarantee them success in their careers.
Jane: Well, it sure does sound like an excellent way to start a promising future. Um, what is the school year like?
Mrs. Dustan: Classes begin in September each year and finish before Christmas. They resume after New Year and finish at the end of April.
Jane: And after April?
Mrs. Dustan: Why, that’s your summer holiday!
Jane: Sounds great! I want to thank you Mrs. Dustan for all your help. I really do appreciate it.
Mrs. Dustan: You’re very welcome. And, if you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me. You know my number, right?
Jane: I sure do. Thanks very much.
Mrs. Dustan: Goodbye.
