If you’re wondering, “What is an MBA degree?” we have the answers. Fundamentally, an MBA, or Master of Business Administration, is a graduate degree that is intended to prepare students for higher-level positions, such as leadership roles, within the greater field of business. Unlike many other graduate degrees that tend to be highly specialized, an MBA degree can be taken with a general approach or focused, or specialized, on a specific topic. Some areas of specialization for an MBA include accounting, finance and marketing. Many MBA degrees are also focused on career preparation.

We know that many of our MBA students are already working and are looking for a way to improve their business comprehension while adding an important credential to their resume. Because of this, we offer an online MBA program that enables you to study on the schedule that works for you.
If you’re wondering, “Is an MBA worth it?” our answer is yes. An online MBA degree can help you further your understanding of the business world and work toward the pursuit of higher-level or leadership roles. MBAs typically develop not only your industry insight but also your interpersonal and leadership skills. For example, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, top executives at large corporations will typically hold a bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree in a business-related field, such as an MBA.8
The versatility of an MBA degree allows you to put it to work in the way that fits best with your career goals. What can you do with an MBA degree? Pursue a senior-level management position within your company or at a new organization. If you want to break into a new industry altogether, your new MBA degree could be an important part of your career change plans. Some of the jobs that Keller MBA graduates may consider include:

Here at DeVry University, applicants to our Keller Graduate School of Management must hold a bachelor’s degree from a University-recognized institution and demonstrate math and verbal skills proficiency. Proficiency can be demonstrated by achieving an undergraduate GPA higher than 2.50 on a 4.0 scale, or submitting acceptable scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) test or the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).

Considering the resume-building potential of an MBA degree and the skills that can be acquired through an MBA curriculum, this graduate degree may broaden the range of career opportunities that you may qualify for. This is important whether you plan to enter the job market in a mid-level position, seek a more senior-level position in your current profession or break away to an altogether new career path. An MBA may help you meet the qualifications for a job or stand out amongst other candidates.
There are many ways in which an MBA degree can be beneficial, including improving your knowledge, education and skills, helping you pursue higher-level management positions, expanding your professional network and helping you to gain a global perspective.
A Master of Public Administration (MPA) is the public-sector equivalent to the MBA degree. This master’s degree in public affairs prepares recipients to pursue upper-level career opportunities in the public sector, such as in the federal government, in nonprofits or as public policy advocates or researchers.
Several factors will contribute to the actual cost of your Keller MBA, including qualifying transfer credits, course waivers7 and/or credit for professional training. This can reduce your total tuition cost and allow you to put your MBA degree to work sooner. Refer to our Tuition page for complete financial information, including scholarship and grant opportunities.9
Whether you’ve chosen to pursue an MBA degree to prepare to advance in your current career or explore new opportunities, earning an MBA can help you build on your business administration skills in areas like accounting, marketing and information technology, as well as acquire new skills in business strategy, management, communication and collaboration that are essential in upper management roles. When you choose an MBA specialization, you may also hone your skills in specialized areas like project management, global supply chain management or human resources.
