Question ID: 712354
I'm from Sweden,  I want to go to the USA for studying. I want to
study business English there. Could you give me the links where I can
find business schools where I can study business English and which can
help me to get entry US visa.

As many links as possible. Better if with the prices and another
conditions (accommodation and so on).

Clarification of Question by timothyweber-ga on 27 Mar 2006 01:40 PST
No, I am not going to be an interpreter, I just want to get ready to
study in MBA or another programs in English. Maybe it is like Pre-MBA
or something like this. And I need this school to help me to get entry
US visa, because it is too difficult to get it.

Hi timothyweber!

There are a lot of programs that meet your needs. Please remember that
if you require more links, I can find more, easily. I'm just not sure
how many you need. I willbe gone tomorrow most of the day, but use the
clarification feature if you wish to contact me. ANy of these schools
will assist you with your visa, and all are specialized classes either
in Business English or Pre-MBA, or both. I included courses in all
price ranges and locations in the country, although I recomment the
Pacific Northwest, there is one in Oregon that sounded fabulous.

Here is what I found:

Northeastern University - Boston
http://www.ace.neu.edu/elc/pre_mba_index.php
Started in 1998, the Pre-MBA Program has enabled more than 100
students to gain acceptance to and graduate from MBA programs at
Northeastern, in Boston, across the United States and in programs in
the United Kingdom. This full-time program is jointly offered to
international students by the English Language Center (ELC) and the
College of Business Administration (CBA) at Northeastern University.
Students accepted to the program receive I-20 visas. The university is
located near the center of Boston, an historic and beautiful city,
which is the university center of America and home to many world-class
universities and MBA programs.

This is a successful program for students who want to improve their
speaking, presenting, listening and writing skills so that they can:

get into a top MBA program at a well-known university 
be a player in graduate MBA classes with American students 
participate professionally in international business settings after graduation 
This is a successful program for students who want to improve their
English skills so that they can do well with the internet-based TOEFL
test, which has a very heavy emphasis on listening, note-taking,
writing and speaking capabilities.

The Pre-MBA Program runs from September to June each year. You can
start in September or in January. You may complete the program in
April or decide to continue until the end of June.

Housing
Accommodation in dormitories at Northeastern is limited, especially in
the Fall Semester. However, if you apply early, you will very likely
obtain a room. After you have been accepted to the Pre-MBA Program and
issued a student ID number, you can contact www.housing.neu.edu to
request a dormitory space. If you do not want to live on campus, you
can use www.housing.neu.edu to make contact with apartment rental
companies to find an apartment. You can also contact the English
Language Center to get information about agencies to arrange home
stays with American families.

Insurance 
You can use the student health infirmary for free as a student at
Northeastern. However, if you become seriously ill and require
hospitalization, you will be responsible for hospital bills. For this
reason, the university requires that you obtain a medical insurance
policy to cover hospital costs. You may purchase an insurance policy
through the university for September?August or January?August,
depending on your date of entry. Please see Program Format for
estimated costs. You may also buy insurance in your home country. If
you obtain your own policy, you will need to bring a copy of the
policy with you when you register.


Should I Apply For the Fall Semester?
You should apply to start the Pre-MBA Program in September if you:

have a TOEFL score of 550/213/80 or lower 
have been away from the classroom for a long time 
need to improve your overall speaking, listening and writing skills in English 
have not taken many business courses before 
have not decided which MBA programs you want to apply to 
know that you will need advice in preparing your application essays 
know that you need to take a GMAT preparation course 
know that you have to increase your business vocabulary  
know that you must improve your presentation and interview skills 
realize that you could benefit greatly from foundation courses taught
by CBA professors

Should I Apply For the Spring Semester?
You can apply to start the Pre-MBA Program in January if you:

have very strong/excellent English language skills 
have a strong academic record 
have a solid work-experience background 
have TOEFL scores in the 580/237/92 and GMAT scores in the 525 range 
have already selected MBA programs for your applications

they can afford. Our tuition is the lowest in the Portland

SJSU's MBA-One Program and 
SAL's MBA-One Preparation Program 
Earn an MBA in 12 months! SAL can prepare your for the language
demands of this new program!

SJSU's MBA-One Program is a 12-month, daytime, "cohort group" MBA
program. It results in the same MBA degree offered by two-year
programs; that is, the amount of instruction is the same. The program
is accredited by the AACSB International--The Association to Advance
Collegiate Schools of Business, the premier national accrediting
agency of professional business schools.
   
The Studies in American Language Program at SJSU is offering an
MBA-One PREP Program, in collaboration with SJSU's College of
Business, to help you meet the conditions established by the college
for regular admission as a graduate student/MBA-One candidate. Those
two conditions are:

a 213 computer-based TOEFL score and 
a 500 on the GMAT, with balanced verbal and quantitative scores. 
Sometimes, there are additional conditions. 

Your initial I-20 will be issued by Studies in American Language, and
you will transfer to San Jose State University when the established
conditions are met. You should begin the Prep program in January. If
you meet the established conditions by May (at the end of a 17-week
program), you will not be required to continue studying during the
months of June and July. A nine-week continuation program will be
available for those who require it.
 
Conditional admission does not obligate you to enroll in the MBA-One
Program. If another MBA program interests you, you will be permitted
to transfer to that program. SAL academic advisors will assist you in
researching a variety of MBA programs.
   
What are the requirements for admission to SAL's MBA-One Prep program? 

a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited institution 
a GPA of 3.0 in the last two years of undergraduate studies 
a TOEFL score close to 525 (197 CBT) 
If you meet these qualifications, you can be conditionally admitted to
the cohort group of SJSU's MBA-One students and begin your preparatory
studies at SAL.

If after reviewing your initial application we find that you already
meet the requierments, we may advise you to apply directly to the
College of Business for immediate admission to the MBA-One program
without additional language preparation.

To begin the admissions process, please complete and submit the
Pre-Admission Evaluation packet. Or, if you are certain that you meet
the requirements for MBA-One Preparation you may apply to SAL
directly.

Pre-Graduate & Pre-MBA Program

Many international students want to study for graduate degrees in the
U.S., but are concerned about their English proficiency and cultural
differences.

Success in an American graduate school requires a special set of
skills. The Pre-Graduate Program can help you prepare for the American
graduate school experience. The Pre-Graduate Program is the only one
of its kind in New York City. Students begin to prepare for their MBA
or other graduate degrees by learning the skills for academic success.

In the Pre-Graduate Program students learn to:

? Participate actively in group discussions
? Work on team projects
? Conduct library and internet research
? Organize American-style research papers
? Apply internet skills to class projects
? Deliver sophisticated, clear, and confident presentations
? Listen effectively and take notes during an academic lecture
? Read for accuracy, meaning, and speed

Our experienced instructors use innovative, student-centered methods
to teach. Students learn the academic skills they will use in graduate
school. Students learn to become active members of an American
graduate program. The classes are small, so students are able to
receive the attention they deserve. All students in the Pre-Graduate
program can use Pace University's library and computer lab facilities.

In the multimedia lab students can practice their skills with TOEFL
and GMAT preparation software. Every student receives assistance on
their graduate application materials from the Pre-Graduate Advisor.

Q #14) Is housing available for ELI students?
http://appserv.pace.edu/execute/page.cfm?doc_id=7140
Yes. Housing is available for full-time ELI students (16-20 hours per
week). At the Pleasantville/Briarcliff campus in Westchester County,
there is on-campus dormitory housing. In New York City, in the Fall
and the Spring, students are placed in the St. George Residence in
Brooklyn Heights, ten minutes by subway from the New York City Campus.
(The dormitory is reserved for students in degree programs.) In the
summer, ELI students may live in the dormitory on campus or at the St.
George.

Timothy,
"Business English"?  Could you please explain just what you mean by this.

To me, this expression suggests a course of study for a
translator/interpreter who wants to concentrate on business/economic
topics, similar to others' concentrating on medicine or biology.  This
normally would not be studied in a business school, although an MBA
degree in the States would certainly qualify one for such work.

A clarification would help someone find what you are looking for.

This is a free comment.

Regards, Myoarin

Myoarin,

I think the person intends to take business courses in the US, and
wishes to become more familiar with english as used in an academic
setting, particularily as pertains to business administration and the
like. I agree, it would be helpful to get some of the industry terms
and phrases down before having to buckle down and study...
