Not All MBAs Are Created Equal

With so many MBA programs to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you? There are major differences in quality, program design and faculty experience that you should take into account when choosing a school.

Online Degrees. It can be difficult for students to learn important skills and concepts, such as leadership and organizational behavior, in an exclusively online setting. A face-to-face environment offers the opportunity to learn through interaction with others while simultaneously forging the connections that can be so important to your success.

Shortcut to Success? Many schools offer a 1-year MBA program. However, these programs typically eliminate some of the most important core requirements. In addition, some employers may not recognize a 1-year MBA as a comprehensive business management degree.

Keeping Quality High. Some schools are doing anything to attract applicants, even if quality is sacrificed. Some executive MBA programs accept students with fewer than five years of work experience. A true executive MBA program is designed for professionals who have at least ten years of professional work experience. At the Rollins MBA-Crummer Graduate School of Business, we believe that quality always comes first.

Finding a Program that Meets Your Needs. Make sure that the program you are considering aligns with your experience and time commitment. Rollins offers a range of innovative MBA program formats designed to meet every need, including full-time, evening, Friday and Saturday programs.

Unique and High Value Learning Experience. Rollins commitment to its learning culture offers long-term benefits for its students. Students graduating from Rollins MBA-Crummer Graduate School of Business often see a significant increase in their salaries upon graduation.

These are some of the reasons why Rollins MBA-Crummer Graduate School of Business has been ranked the #1 MBA in Florida by Forbes and BusinessWeek.
