mba program types
What are the different types of MBA Programs?Once you have decided that the MBA is for you, you need to choose which program suits your aspirations and your circumstances. There are some things you need to think about.Firstly, what do you want to achieve with your MBA?What are your personal and your career objectives. Once you have worked this out, you would be provided with a focus that you can use for which type of MBA program and which courses you want. Should you wish to become a strategy consultant on graduation, then the program content, the school you go to and its reputation will need to go towards achieving this.Then you have to work out how long you wish to study for.MBA programs last from between one year for the shortest full-time course to five years for the longest part-time course. All programs that you take will involve a major time commitment. You must make sure you could give that commitment. Then you should look at the type of mba program and the course content and work out if it matches your needs. The first MBA program that was ever created was a full time course where the student needed to attend business school every day and most of the courses were compulsory. Over the last 25 to 30 years, MBA program types have developed in terms of content.
Why MBA programs?
Earning a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree, can provide you with management skills and business expertise that open new career opportunities to you.If you are working in business and are looking to move up the ladder or to move from your current area of expertise to a new one, an MBA program can help you achieve your goals.An MBA program will also launch you into the much higher pay range that upper level managers and executives enjoy.Furthermore, in the high-level positions an MBA degree will allow you to hold, your work will often be more interesting and rewarding.Now, more and more MBA programs provide training that goes beyond general business management to provide subject area expertise.So, for example, if your career interests are in the field of e-commerce, you can find MBA programs with a strong focus in that area.In addition, many MBA programs will allow you to earn joint degrees, so you can combine business administration training with training in another field, like law, health, or even social work.
Choosing a MBA program
Factors in Choosing a Program Type
No two business schools offer the same curriculum, but most expose students to a common body of knowledge in basic accounting, economics, finance, human resources and organization design, marketing, operations, policy, and quantitative methods and statistics.
To help narrow the field of schools you are considering, think about the career, lifestyle, financial issues, and curriculum that are important to you. Use the following list of questions to help you work through the issues involved in choosing a program type.
Financial Impact
Your financial circumstances may help to determine what kind of program you choose. Be sure to ask yourself the following questions about your finances:
Do I need to maintain full-time employment?
Will the company I work for sponsor my education?
Do I need financial aid or a scholarship or loan?
Do I prefer to have financial aid?
Do I need to spread the cost of an MBA out over as many years as possible to minimize the funds I must borrow?
Lifestyle Factors
Going for an MBA will necessarily affect many aspects of your life. You should ask yourself the following questions about your lifestyle.
Can I define a balance between work and life?
Could I handle a full-time workload and full-time course load?
Is it important that the school offer peer groups of people with my interests and experience level?
Will I want total immersion (learning activities outside of class and my network of people)?
Am I ready to assume the responsibilities of an MBA-level position?
Does this decision affect my family?
How might the decision affect my family?
What special needs might my family have?
Will my spouse need to relocate and look for a job? What is the job market like near the schools I am considering?
Is there a school-run organization to help spouses and families?
What type of program suits my work style and goals?
Do I plan to stay with my current employer after I earn my degree?
Do I know from my job what kind of learning environments work best for me?
Do I know what biases exist in my targeted industry or company that could affect my choice of program type?
Do I already have a functional or industry specialty?
Do I need an MBA to develop a functional/industry specialty?
Do I know where I want to study?
Do I want to study in my home country or abroad?
Do I want to stay local, within my region, or try a new location?
Do I know what I need from a location--that is, do I want a college town, a city, convenience and access to services, safety, a low cost of living, or other things, for example?
Might the local business community be an advantage? A disadvantage? (Consider the school's access to local speakers, the availability of local internships, access to local companies for class projects, etc.)
Do I know what type of school culture is important to me?
Does the prevailing culture of a school fit with my personality?
Do I like the dominant personalities of the student body, staff, faculty, and alumni? (Keep in mind that MBA students, like all high achievers, are inherently competitive.)
