Since its inception, American business schools have been synonymous with the MBA and, as a consequence, obtaining an MBA in the US is highly desirable for many managers, from all over the world.

In all of the recently produced MBA rankings (F.T, Economist, Wall Street Journal, Business Week, etc) more schools from outside of the US are now making the top 100, it is, however, still the US MBA that is perceived by many to be the most valuable in terms of career development and salary.

The flip-side of the value of gaining an MBA in the US is that it is also the most costly in terms of tuition fees and living expenses. The cost of a US MBA averages somewhere between $40,000 and $50,000 (source: businessweek.com).
