Business Administration

Overview

An MBA is a graduate degree that combines specialized business knowledge with practical, real-world experience. An MBA is not only used as a stepping-stone to career advancement, but also as a way to gain hands-on experience in the business world.

What Can I Do With a Business Administration Degree?

An MBA is often seen as a “must-have” graduate degree. Those who earn an MBA—at any point in their careers—are in line for promotions, upper-level management and administration, and executive positions that demand a high degree of knowledge in diverse areas, including management, international business, human resources, finance, law, operations management and leadership. Studies have shown that by age 30, MBA graduates earn around 40 percent more than those who have a bachelor’s degree, and by age 50, MBA graduates earn an astounding 100 percent more than their bachelor’s degree colleagues.
