MBA

Thinking of getting an MBA degree? Can't decide if its the right programme for you? If it is which is the right college? Studying for an MBA programme is a very big decision and takes a lot of commitment and investment which is both the most important things in your life i.e Time & Money. Many find it difficult to commit to a full-time MBA course. This guide on MBA might help, for you to choose the right decision.

What is an MBA?

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is an internationally-recognized degree designed to develop the skills required for careers in business and management. The value of the MBA, however, is not limited strictly to the business world. An MBA can also be useful for those pursuing a managerial career in the public sector, government, private industry, and other areas. Most MBA programs include a "core" curriculum of subjects, such as accounting, economics, marketing, and operations, as well as elective courses that allow participants to follow their own personal or professional interests. Some schools require that MBA candidates complete an internship at a company or organization, which can lead to concrete job opportunities after the program.

The MBA is currently the most popular professional degree program in the world. Today there are over 2,500 MBA programs offered worldwide; most are offered in English. First introduced at universities in the United States around the turn of the 20th century, MBA programs have evolved to keep up with the demands of the times. While traditional two-year MBA programs are still common, one-year programs have also become increasingly popular. Part-time and online programs are also widely available for professionals not willing or unable to take a year or two off to do a full-time program. 

Why Study MBA?

When answering the ‘Why MBA?’ question it is important to be specific about the college. For instance, of course, all MBAs teach finance, marketing and strategy, but your dream college might have a specific professor who teaches a particular class that you know will just blow your socks off. Write that down along with how it will equip you to get to your short-term goal. Do your Research!

One of the most common reasons for doing an MBA is that, for many people, it can lead to the next step in their careers. Sometimes, after working for a certain amount of time, people find that they’ve reached a certain level in their careers, and they need something else to get to management-level positions. An MBA can add specific business skills to your toolkits, such as leadership or strategic thinking, that will be good firepower when applying for management-level positions or promotions.

When is the Best Time to Study MBA?

It’s tempting to try to move as fast as possible to earn that next degree. However, if you move too early, you might not be ready for the programs available from the world’s top business schools. And if you go too late, you may have wasted years that could have been spent moving up the career ladder. So, what’s the right answer? When exactly is the best time to get an MBA?

In truth, the best time to get an MBA degree is whenever you are ready, whether that’s before starting a long and fulfilling career or decades after your first day on the job. A person with years of work experience can be just as successful in graduate school as one who has just received their bachelor’s.
