Where to study MBA from? How to Make a Decision That’s Right For You?

Before we discuss where you should study MBA, the first and pertinent question is why you should do an MBA? Well, there are several reasons which make an MBA degree invincible in today’s world. Below are some of the main reasons students go for the full-time MBA program. See which reason(s) resonates with you the most:

• Self-empowerment/improvement

• Switching careers

• Getting a sense of purpose

• Acquiring expertise to overcome future career challenges easily

• Improve chances to build an international career

• Increased salaries

Well, now let’s talk about how to make a decision that’s right for you.

You already know the merits of having an MBA degree, but you may still be asking yourself: is business school the right choice for you? Should I go ahead and join an MBA program? If yes, from where? Knowing if a business school is ideal is an important step in your higher educational journey. Your career would largely depend on this decision. So, it is pertinent to dig deeper and see how MBA programs impact long-term success.

The below-mentioned questions are meant for you, which you need to ask yourself. Once you answer these, you should find it easier to make the right decision about joining an MBA program.

1. Why am I trying to get a graduate business degree?

Be honest and dig deeper. See if your career goals align with the MBA degree. If you are not sure, begin by probing yourself about the purpose or goals near your heart. What are your goals, and how are they related to your passion? Did you find a program that fits your long-term aspirations? There is no wrong answer. Be genuine; try to answer this question with complete honesty.

2. Are you under some influence, like your friends joining an MBA program?

This is often the reason for failures. If you are thinking of joining an MBA degree program to have a good time with your friends, you should stop and re-think! Many youngsters either do not bother to chart out a career plan, or they go on and join a program that their friends are joining. Taking such a step will be counter-productive. Soon, you would feel frustrated as MBA programs are business-oriented and require lots of hard work. If you are undecided about choosing the right career, ask for help. We at MITCOM can help you choose the right career path based on your inherent skills and aptitude.

3. Will I be able to switch my career without an MBA degree?

You might have already been working for some time. But do you like the current job? Do you think you will be able to rise to the levels you always wanted to in your current job? You might have realized that you will not achieve your career goals in the absence of an MBA degree. You might feel stuck in a profile that you hardly admire. Maybe, changing the career direction is the only option that could lend you happiness yet again.

4. Can I hope to achieve my career goals with an MBA degree?

MBA undoubtedly gives you an edge over other graduates. As per the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), the survey held across 45 nations (1202 employers) around the globe in 2019 suggests that MBA hires received an all-time high median salary of USD 115,000.

Moreover, 69% of Asia-Pacific employers planned to recruit fresh MBAs in 2019. The statistics will help you think in the right perspective as far as achieving your career goals are concerned with an MBA degree.

5. Is an MBA degree worth it?

MBA degree requires loads of financial as well as mental investment. Maybe, the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) survey that included the survey responses of 10,882 alumni representing 274 institutions and a wide variety of program types will help you answer this question. The survey found that 93% of MBA graduates found their program financially rewarding.
