What is an MBA?

This is probably the most important question if you are new to this subject. MBA stands for Master of Business Administration. It is a graduate-level (master's) degree in the field of management and business.

Although it can be an academic degree, the MBA is usually viewed as a professional degree. Other professional degrees, such as law, set the degree holder apart as a professional in that field. While it can be viewed as a degree for a business professional, it is really much more than that.

Highlights of an MBA:

* A master's-level degree in the area of business and management.

* It can be general or specific. Specializations are available in many business (and non-business) disciplines.

* It is for persons with a college degree in business as well as other majors. It attracts a diverse group of people.

* A degree that is highly marketable as well as popular. People recognize the degree quickly.

* It is a highly available degree. It it can be obtained through various different deliveries and program formats.

* A great career enhancer in many ways. It can help with career advancement as well as career changing.

* It provides a great potential for return on investment. Your earning power is likely to increase with this degree.

I hope some of these suggestions help to simplify the answer to the question "What is an MBA?". These are just the highlights of the MBA. As you can see, there are a lot of great aspects to the MBA degree.
