2021-05-19 19:37:28 What are the Top Reasons to Get an MBA Degree?
The top reasons to get an MBA degree include:

- Change in career or industry
- Seeking to increase knowledge of business landscape
- Seeking promotion or increase in salary
- Expand your professional network

Is the MBA Degree right for you?
The MBA degree is right for someone who is changing careers or wants to change industries, seeking to increase knowledge of business principles, or seeking promotion/increase in the cosalary. However, there are alternative options to the MBA. Those options include certificate programs, specialized masters and leadership development programs, among others.

When choosing an MBA degree it is important to consider the resources the program provides for your goals. For example, if you are seeking an opportunity to change careers into healthcare, it is vital to choose a program that develops your healthcare business expertise and provides a network of healthcare-related networking opportunities.

How many years does it take to get an MBA?
On average, an MBA takes 20-24 months to complete, however a variety of factors will impact the length of the program. Online MBA programs offer the most flexibility and can take 12 months to over 5 years, while some full-time programs offer one-year structures.

The main factors that impact the length of a program is the structure itself and your time commitment. For example, some part-time programs can be completed in as little as 9-12 months, however the typical student who takes 3 to 6 credits per semester may take 5+ years to complete.

Is an MBA a good investment?
An MBA can be a great investment that can achieve your goals for getting an MBA degree. We organized the benefits based on the top reasons to get an MBA and how it can impact your return on investment.

Change in career or industry: Programs that provide career services for their students can be a great investment for getting your MBA. If you are seeking to change industries, the concentration or specialization you choose will build your expertise while taking your MBA. Some programs even offer personal career coaches to help develop your resume, refine your interview skills and connect you with corporate recruiter.

Seeking to increase knowledge of business landscape: If this is your main measure for return on investment of your MBA, then research programs before applying. If you are seeking a career in tech, find programs that have strong corporate partners in the tech industry. Location is also important since many MBA programs have a strong local network. Lastly, research professors and curriculum to identify learning methods that will challenge you.

Seeking promotion or increase in salary: One of the main reasons people pursue their MBA is to receive a promotion or an increase in salary. Prior to starting your MBA, contact your HR department to see if they provide any tuition assistance. Many MBA programs have strong corporate partners who have agreements in place to receive your MBA degree. When the company invests in your education, they are more likely to provide promotions and/or salary increases. ओपन / कमेंट

2021-05-19 19:37:20 The MBA application essay is still the most feared part of most applications. Whether you have to write 1,000 words or just 500, saying everything you need to say in a concise, intelligent, and appropriate manner isn’t easy for everyone. In fact, it can be incredibly frustrating. And while every school asks different essay questions, there’s one question you’re almost guaranteed to see, “What are your short-term and long-term post-MBA career coals and how will School X help you achieve these goals?”

The career goals essay is one of the most common and also most difficult essay questions. On the surface, it seems simple, but there’s a lot of work required if you want to wow the admissions committee (adcom). It all starts with the question.

Breaking Down the MBA Career Goals Essay
Before you can write your career goals essay, you have to break it down into digestible and answerable pieces. There are six pieces to the career goals essay that you’ll need to consider before you begin writing.


1. Where are you now?
Before you can talk about your goals, you have to know where you are now and so does the adcom. This means that your essay will need to concisely describe your current position so that you can better explain your goals.

2. What are you short-term goals?
Short-term and long-term goals are not the same. Short-term goals refer to your immediate plans after graduation. Is there a particular industry where you want to work? Do you have a job or promotion in mind? Where do you see yourself in the immediate months post-MBA?

3. What are your long-term goals?
Long-term goals take a little more thought. You might not be as specific about companies or job titles when talking about your long-term goals, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a plan. Think about where you want the MBA to take you in ten or twenty years.

4. Why will an MBA help?
Next, you need to discuss how an MBA will help you achieve both your short-term and long-term goals. You’ll need to discuss technical skills, analytical skills, focus areas, and more.

5. Why is the School vital?
You need to make your essay personal. Not just any MBA should work for your goals. You need to explain specifically why School X is vital to your success. Get as specific as possible.

6. Why now?
Finally, you need to discuss why NOW is the best time to get your MBA and pursue your goals. Make a case for why this year, this class, and this moment are vital to your life.

I hope this helps you nail down your MBA Essay.

Writing the MBA Career Goals Essay
Now that you know all the components of the essay, it’s time to start writing. To successfully answer the question, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind.

Be Specific - You need to be as specific as possible when answering each of the six parts of the question.
Be Realistic - Adcoms want you to dream big, but they also want you to be realistic.
Be Genuine - Adcoms can smell BS.
Be Clear -Make sure you write an essay that is clear and easy to read.
