Interested in an MBA? An MBA, or "Masters of Business Administration" is a master's degree that can help you master the various aspects of business, and very often will give you an advantage in getting any job search or job promotion. If an MBA interests you, the best thing is to learn what the degree can do for you, and which school is best to meet your objectives.
First off, an MBA degree can really get your career moving ahead, and an online MBA is a great way to do it inexpensively, conveniently, and quickly. It is convenient because you do everything from your home - no classes to attend apart from scheduled online presentations and teleconferences. How each online MBA school presents their material varies from school to school, yet the best ones give an experience that rivals the best class-based MBA program.
Another advantage of the online MBA is speed - you can usually complete the entire program in 2 years or less, and be fully equipped with all the business acumen you need once you graduate. Once you have your MBA credential, no one will know if its an online or offline MBA, a full-time or part-time, unless they ask you in an interview.
The most important thing about getting your MBA online is to make sure the school you accept is accredited, meaning they are recognized by government and businesses as a school that provides business training. If your school is not accredited, its worth will be diminished, and you will have no luck in getting any student loans or scholarships. Usually the school will have someone who you can talk to, who can help you with funding options, if you need any of these options.
The solid business training that a good MBA gives you will help your career in many ways. Some industries in particular value this training, including:
* market research and marketing
* accounting
* process re-engineering activities
A great many companies will view your MBA degree as a sign of a serious focused applicant who can make a significant impact.
Getting an MBA will also boost your income, since research shows that the MBA credential adds between $12,000 and $28,000 to income, depending on the field worked in, and the location of employment.
If your next career step involves an MBA, getting your MBA degree online is clearly the convenient, economical way to get the degree under your belt. Since I have done mine, I should also tell you a little known fact about MBA graduates. Over 52% of all MBA graduates are fired or quit within 2 years of their graduation. It seems the MBA changes people, and it usually means the new MBA graduate needs to find a new place to work - often to the benefit of the graduate!
