UniversityDegrees: Get Your Accredited Degree At Home

MBA Schools

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is one of the most popular and prestigious graduate degrees available. There are over 1250 MBA programs available worldwide with new ones offered practically monthly.

Over 60% of America’s MBA programs saw applications rise this year, with many reporting surges of over 20 percent or more. There are currently almost 300,000 students pursuing the degree in the U.S. alone. Over 95,000 Americans will earn their MBA this year.

Financial compensation packages offered to those graduating from top echelon schools are escalating rapidly. At top-tier schools, total compensation--including the signing bonuses and full tuition reimbursement that some consulting firms and investment banks now offer--routinely tops six figures. Wharton's 1999 median pay package hit $142,000, possibly the highest total of any U.S. business school.

Starting salaries for newly graduated MBAs have been soaring this year, reports Business Week in its July 6 issue. They noted an increase in earnings of 7-9% compared to 1997 graduates with an average graduate salary of $90,000.

Most MBA programs are based around full-time students, and almost half of all MBA students now study part-time for their degree. Part-time and distance learning MBAs now form the fastest growing sector of the MBA market.

Courses generally rely on self-study materials, presented in various written and audio-visual formats. These are usually supplemented by support help via phone, fax or online along with some seminar visits, and occasional weekend and summer sessions.

PROFESSIONAL ACCREDITATION

Universal agreement on course content is lacking allowing each school to develop its own program. In the U.S. the American Assembly Of Collegiate Schools Of Business (AACSB - www.aacsb.edu) accredits business programs that meet their specific criteria. They currently accredit approximately 270 of the almost 1,000 MBA programs in the United States. The best known "B" schools (Wharton, Stanford, etc) are all AACSB accredited.

Another accrediting agency for business schools is the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). Although generally seen as having less "clout" than AACSB, it is still valued by many.

The counterpart to the American AACSB in Europe is AMBA, The Association of MBAs."

Some schools however, including some of the leading ones, are not members of either of these accrediting agencies by choice or because they offer courses differing in content and, or methodology.

Determine which MBA program is best for you and your unique career goals.

1. Does the School have a good reputation?

2. Does the School help graduates get good jobs in good companies?

3. Does the MBA offer the right blend of core and elective subjects for you?

4. Are the fees and tuition affordable?

5. Does the School use teaching methods which are suited to your style of learning?

TYPICAL CORE CONTENT

Finance

Economics

Information Management and Technology

Organizational Management

Management

Marketing

TYPICAL ELECTIVE CONTENT

Subject often include:

Production and Materials Management
E-commerce Small and Medium Sized Businesses

ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS

All Schools expect you to have sufficient demonstrable academic skills to undertake a postgraduate course. However, many schools prefer that the student also have a few years of management experience prior to admission.

Most Schools demand a good GMAT examination score (some use the GRE or MAT instead) and examine carefully both the work experience and academic achievements of potential students.

A bachelor’s degree in a business area is usually not required. In fact over half of all MBA candidates have no academic business background whatsoever. However, there are common prerequisite courses that will have to be taken prior to taking the core courses. Students with a business degree will usually have taken these courses already, saving both time and money over those who have not taken them.

In some cases schools that are not AACSB accredited do not require these prerequisites. These will usually have a lower academic reputation in the U.S. News and Business Week rankings and the academic community as well.

GMAT
This worldwide test evaluates the suitability of candidates for postgraduate studies, including MBAs. The vast majority of MBA schools, around 850 worldwide, consider the GMAT as an essential requirement for obtaining admission. The admission standards vary considerably from school to school. You’ll need to check the requirements for each school you’re interested in. Oftentimes they set-up a formula using your test scores multiplied by your GPA.

Go to the following Web address for further information on test content, pricing, preparation guides, etc. (http://www.gmat.org/). Another source to consider for testing is http://www.test.com.

ADMISSION WITHOUT A BACHELOR’S DEGREE

* Athabasca University
* Durham University
* Henley Management College
* Heriot-Watt University
* Leicester University
* Open University
* Regent University (require 90 hours undergraduate work)

The cost is estimated assuming you do not have to take prerequisite courses. Tuition will be higher if you do have to take these courses.

Don’t eliminate yourself if you don’t meet the stated requirements. These are not written in stone and flexibility is common. Most schools use an indexing method where they multiply your GPA times the GMAT, taking into account your work experience, etc. Oftentimes a student can be admitted on a probationary basis to ensure the program is within one’s ability.
