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.
Yes! You can earn your MBA degree online. At DeVry, we offer our MBA program in both hybrid (on-campus and online) and 100% online formats3. We know that many of our MBA students are already working in the business field and are looking for a way to improve their comprehension of business while adding an important credential to their resume. Because of this, we offer our MBA program with flexible online options to enable you to study on your schedule.
The time it takes to earn an MBA degree can vary, depending on the institution and your course load. At DeVry, you can earn your MBA in as few as 10 courses2, depending on any course waivers and any qualifying transfer credits4.
If you’re among those who are wondering, “Is an MBA worth it?” our answer is yes, an online MBA degree can absolutely be worth it as an avenue to 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 Bureau of Labor Statistics, top executives at large corporate companies will typically hold a bachelor’s degree or a master’s degree in a business-related field, such as an MBA5.
The versatility of an MBA degree allows you to put it to work in the way that fits best with your goals. What can you do with an MBA degree? You can do plenty. 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 graduates of our MBA degree program may consider include:
For aspiring graduate students planning to advance their education and working professionals who want to build their management skills, Keller offers MBA programs in 10 specializations, including Accounting, Business Intelligence and Analytics Management, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Global Supply Chain Management, Health Services, Human Resources, Information Systems Management, Marketing, and Project Management.
Yes, we offer the option to earn your MBA part time, making it a sensible solution to the challenge of balancing your education with work, family and other commitments. In addition to an easier work-life balance, the advantages of a part-time MBA program can include the convenience of earning your degree entirely online and the ability to apply the new skills you develop toward your current job.
The admission requirements for MBA programs will vary from one institution to another, but the most common prerequisite is that you must hold a bachelor’s degree. 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). Visit our Graduate School Admissions page for more detailed information.
An MBA degree can enable you to strengthen your resume and broaden the range of career opportunities that are available to you. This is important whether you plan to enter the job market at a higher-than-entry-level position, seek a more senior-level position in your current profession or break away to a new career path. Either way, an MBA might enable you to become a stand-out candidate for a particular job or attract the attention of recruiters and hiring managers who work with companies that are searching for quality talent.
There are many ways in which an MBA degree can be beneficial, including improving your knowledge, education and skills, helping you pursue more senior-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.
