Non degree courses or graduate certificates from top schools useful for admission?
I've a masters in engineering from an average state school, but work exp from good brand companies. I was thinking of taking some courses from top schools like Stanford,Berkely (my employer pays about 5K/yr for courses relevant to my job). Does taking the courses from these schools add any value to my Resume. I know obviously its not going to replace my low tier school background, but atleast will it help a little bit. I was thinking of taking engineering courses for one, its relevant to my job and two, I think I'll actually learn something useful. Or should I be taking some biz courses or "graduate certificates" in say finance,management etc?
Are graduate certificates better for admission chances than just taking one or two random courses?
EDIT: My hope is to get into IB post-MBA
What are you trying to do? Stay in engineering, move over to finance, etc?
personally i wanted to supplement a not-so-great gpa from a decent state school as u say -- i went to uconn-- so i took certificate classes in finance at NYU this past semester. email the schools youre targeting and ask -- most of the schools i asked said theyd look favorably upon it
