WHY MBA
Why An MBA
Nearly eighty percent of top executives polled in a recent survey said that earning a graduate degree in business is important for those who want to obtain top management positions in most companies. The truth is that as the world moves toward a more corporate and service-oriented economy, earning an MBA becomes an effective way of not only ensuring your employment, but also ensuring your success and marketability an ever evolving job market. As businesses have continued to be impressed with abilities and accomplishments of MBA graduates, the MBA degree has become much more popular. But is an MBA really worth the extra years of schooling that are required -- especially when you could be spending that time working? The numbers indicate that the answer is most likely yes. A recent survey of accounting/financial workers of varying skill and seniority levels found that CFOs without a formal degree had an average salary of only $38,920, those with a Bachelors Degree earned up to $88,836, while MBAs with relevant experience earned an average of $104,284. The return on investment for an MBA certainly appears worthwhile.
Most MBA programs regardless of the major focus will provide you with training in basic business principle needed by any business manager including, corporate finance, economics, strategic planning, marketing, basic accounting, etc. However, if you know which career field you are interested in, selecting a specific MBA focus will allow you to specialize and better prepare yourself for your career. This means you won't just learn the basis of corporate finance, but rather advance corporate, investment finance, financial accounting and financial markets which will make you much more marketable as a financial analyst or banker. The flip side to earning a specialized MBA is that it make be difficult to change career fields if you change your mind down the road. The following are different types of MBA programs.
Where you decide to pursue a general MBA or a specific specilization earning an MBA in any field is an excellent option - especially for students hoping to land excellent jobs once they graduate. Research indicates that individuals with an MBA tend to move up the promotion ladder much quicker than those without the degree. Not only that, but most employees possessing an MBA on average earn more than their lesser-educated contemporaries. These statistics should come as no surprise given the fact that MBA graduates are in high demand at multi-million dollar companies throughout the world.
MBA graduates aren't the only people who benefit from and MBA. Students earning their earning their degree can also benefit while still attending school. Due to the fact that graduates are in such high demand, many companies have been known to hire students still earning their MBAs in order to better ensure future services. These students are often treated exactly like their MBA carrying colleagues, and thus receive all or most of the MBA benefits bestowed by these companies.
Finally, earning MBA is an ideal networking opportunity for those interesting in obtaining a career with large corporations in many different industries. Most reputable MBA programs have relationships with local business, business leaders and community leaders who have connections high up. Almost as valuable as the degree itself are the connections that are made while earning an MBA.
We believe earning an MBA is a good idea for anyone interested in a successful business career. In fact, we are loath to think of any reason not to pursue an MBA - the benefits are just too good to pass up. If you have any questions about MBA Programs, the GMAT, or how to find a good graduate school, don't hesitate to contact us.

MBA PROGRAM
Two-year programs are usually four semesters, spread over two academic years, with a three- or four-month break for an internship.
The first year includes core courses required of all MBAs.
The second year allows for functional specialization (a specific concentration of study and elective courses).
Students do not work full time during the program; school is considered their first priority.
People often relocate to attend their full-time program of choice.
Company Sponsorship
Employers that sponsor MBA students give up their employees' services for the duration of the program.
A global company might send a candidate for a total immersion experience (including cultural immersion) to another country that represents an important business market.
A consulting firm or investment bank may require employees to earn a master's degree before they can be promoted. Some companies require a full immersion program with the option to return to the company upon completing the MBA. They may offer tuition reimbursement.
Two-Year, Full-Time Advantages
Two-year, full-time programs have several advantages for both career switchers (who change job functions or industries) and career enhancers (who continue in the same job function or industry). These programs provide an opportunity to develop knowledge in a specific discipline, leading to new job skills and prospects. If you are early in your career development, more specialized study may help you to continue in a particular industry or job function and to progress more effectively.
The following are some other advantages.
Academic and Nonacademic Learning
You can customize course work through electives and concentrations.
Two-year programs accept the widest variety of academic backgrounds, usually with the basic requirement that you have an undergraduate degree that meets the business school's standards (usually, this means a four-year college equivalent).
The environment encourages learning far beyond classroom instruction.
Career Enhancement
In an MBA internship, you can learn and practice new skills and enhance your résumé for post-MBA employment.
The summer break allows for further networking in the business world.
You can develop a cohesive network of MBA colleagues, because the entering class takes core courses together.
Full-time programs offer career services (including campus interviews with prospective employers), social and professional clubs (often across industry segments and functional preference), executive speakers' series, career counseling, and other "campus life" services.
Scholarships and Financial Aid
Scholarship money may be available to assist with tuition costs (get information from specific schools).
Loan money is available for eligible full-time students.
Two-Year, Full-Time Limitations
Two-year, full-time programs can be a wonderful experience for people who have well-defined career goals, are ready to spend an extended period of time out of the workforce, and have the resources to pay for such a program.
If you do not meet this description, a two-year, full-time program may not be for you. It is a very expensive and time-consuming way to explore what you want to do in the future, and a lack of focus can limit the value of what you learn and what you gain from networking opportunities.
Before you consider a two-year, full-time program, you should be confident about what you wish to do in the future and willing to commit the necessary time and resources to furthering these go
The first year includes core courses required of all MBAs.
The second year allows for functional specialization (a specific concentration of study and elective courses).
Students do not work full time during the program; school is considered their first priority.
People often relocate to attend their full-time program of choice.
Company Sponsorship
Employers that sponsor MBA students give up their employees' services for the duration of the program.
A global company might send a candidate for a total immersion experience (including cultural immersion) to another country that represents an important business market.
A consulting firm or investment bank may require employees to earn a master's degree before they can be promoted. Some companies require a full immersion program with the option to return to the company upon completing the MBA. They may offer tuition reimbursement.
Two-Year, Full-Time Advantages
Two-year, full-time programs have several advantages for both career switchers (who change job functions or industries) and career enhancers (who continue in the same job function or industry). These programs provide an opportunity to develop knowledge in a specific discipline, leading to new job skills and prospects. If you are early in your career development, more specialized study may help you to continue in a particular industry or job function and to progress more effectively.
