Q: Do you think an MBA degree is a terminal or a professional degree or simply both?
Hey everybody! I'm thinking of going to graduate school and getting my MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree. Here's my question. Do you think an MBA degree is a terminal or a professional degree or simply both? I think it's both but I'm not sure. Also, do you think an MBA is still the way to go when getting a graduate degree in terms of making BIG $$$? Any answers would be appreciated! Thanks!

A: It is generally a terminal degree, although MBA graduates sometimes go on to a Ph.D. A professional degree is generally thought of as one that leads to a professional certification such as CFA, CPA, or CMA, which often follows an MS in fiance or accounting. However, nothing prevents an MBA from obtaining professional certifications. the MBA is still the way to go as a path to high level management positions where the big money is. Before you consider which MBA program is for you, consult the Official MBA Guide, a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.

Q: Is it possible to obtain an MBA degree with a diploma in engineering??any other options for a higher degree?
I would like to know if it is possible to obtain an MBA degree with a diploma in engineering and without a bachelor's degree. i have a diploma degree in civil engineering with 5 years work experience. is it possible to pursue an MBA degree at this point? what are the other options for further studies?? if yes then what are the universities in india and abroad providing such courses? and what are the procedures for admission?? any bit of help would be greatly appreciated. thank you very much.

A: MBA programs generally require a bachelor degree. It would depend on how your diploma is interpreted and evaluated by the school. The school may also want to evaluate your work experience. For example, 5 years as a draftsman may be viewed differently than 5 years as a designer. AACSB rules permit admitting a small number of non-degreed applicants into MBA programs, but these are usually admitted because of their experience, often in executive MBA programs. An MBA class I taught included two students with no college work, and they graduated at the top of their class. Consult the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide.

Q: How can I acquire MBA Degree accreditation?
My family owns an Institute for business research and education (in Belgrade, eastern Europe), which has guaranteed right to issue certificates. Problem is that those certificates are not internationally valid (they are valid for Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia, Macedonia and (I am not sure) in Croatia. Does anyone know how and where I can acquire right (accreditation) to issue internationally (or at least USA or EU based) valid MBA Degree Certificates? It would be great business at the moment in Eastern Europe (during the period of transition). Is it enough to get license from one of West-European / US universities? Is there any special procedure for acquiring license?

A: In the US, "the" accrediting program for business programs is the AACSB. It is more prestigious than the regional accrediting programs and accredits some international programs as well.

Q: How much is a mba degree worth?
Im currently a college freshman at vanderbilt university and im unsure about my future. My major now is economics and im concidering an MBA after that. Does anyone know how much a degree like that will be worth and what occupation would pay the most? Or rather does anyone out there have an economics degree or mba degree and tell me how the job opportunities are salaries are? thanx

A: I'm not going to pretend that I'm experienced in all this, but I'm a high school student who is planning on getting an MBA and everyone I've talked to about it (including several people at my parents' companies, admissions officers at business schools, etc.) I've come to believe that it's totally worth it. Like everything, its only what you make of it. No matter what you're going to start out in the low salary range, but you can work your way up. My mom took 5 years of general ed courses at a community college, transferred to a California State University school near my house, graduated 2 years later with a degree in Accounting, later got her CPA, CIA, and CF... something certifications and now she makes more than $100,000 years. If she could start college at 35ish while raising 2 kids and tending to the house and what not you can certainly work your way up, especially since you are young and you have a fresh start. Think about what your passion is and find a way to practically pursue it. Good luck!

Q: can anyone tell me about getting an MBA degree?
i understand that to get a MBA, you must have work experience? does summer internship and things like that count? what sort of jobs can you get with a MBA degree? is this degree worth getting? and does it pay relatively well? thanks.

A: The MBA (Master of Business Administration) is a postgraduate degree that is awarded to students who have mastered the study of business. The MBA degree is thought to be one of the most prestigious and sought after degrees in the world. Students that bringing post-baccalaureate work in business to an MBA program may have gained experiences that will help them succeed in their course work. But, some MBA does not require work experience. Students of MBA programs study the theory and application of business and management principles. This type of study equips students with knowledge that can be applied to a variety of real world business situations. Why Get an MBA Degree? The main reason to attend school is to increase your salary potential and advance your career. Because graduates who hold an MBA degree are eligible for jobs that would not be offered to those who hold only a high school diploma, an MBA degree is almost a necessity in today’s business world. In most cases, an MBA degree is required for executive and senior management positions. There are some companies who will not even consider applicants unless they have an MBA degree. People who hold an MBA degree will find that there are many different types of employment opportunities that are available to them. What Can You Do With an MBA Degree? Many MBA programs offer an education in general management along with a more specialized curriculum. Because this type of education is relevant to all industries and sectors, it will be valuable regardless of the career that is chosen after graduation. When it comes to the MBA degree, there are many different disciplines that can be pursued and combined. The options shown below are some of the most common MBA concentrations/degrees: Accounting Business Management E-Business/E-Commerce Economics Entrepreneurship Finance Global Management Human Resources Management Information Systems Marketing Operations Management Strategic/Risk Management Technology Management Corporate recruiters and MBAs that the salaries paid to MBA graduates are higher than those paid to people right out of college and people who graduated with other kinds of master's degrees. The typical MBA in the class of 2006 made US$61,302 before earning the MBA degree and expects a post-MBA salary of US$86,350—that's a 41% increase, and an immediate return on the MBA investment. Of course, the typical salary is an average of all salaries; the range of pre- and post-MBA salaries includes some that are much lower and some that are much higher than the average.

Q: Can international students with JD/MBA degree practice law in the US?
Can international students who got a joint JD/MBA degree from a US university practice law in the US? Can they practice law in the US as long as they have any kind of Law degree from a US university?

A: No, having a law degree is not enough, you have to take the bar exam and pass it to practice law in the U.S. "In the United States, admission to the bar is permission granted by a particular court system to a lawyer to practice law in that system. Each U.S. state and similar jurisdiction (e.g. Territory) can and does set its own rules for bar admission, as a matter of court sovereignty. In practice, this leads to exceptions to nearly every general rule of bar admission. General requirements for admission Each state has its own rules which are the ultimate authority concerning admission to its bar. Generally, admission to a bar requires that the candidate do the following: Earn a Juris Doctorate from a law school approved by that state (often, but not always, this means accredited by the American Bar Association); or, where permitted, participate in an approved Law Clerk program ("reading the law"). In all United States jurisdictions except Maryland, Puerto Rico, Wisconsin, and Washington, all candidates must pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), an examination covering the professional responsibility rules governing lawyers. This test is not administered at the same time as any U.S. bar exam. Most candidates take the MPRE while still in law school; indeed, some states require that a candidate pass the MPRE before being allowed to sit for the bar exam. Connecticut and New Jersey waive the MPRE for candidates who have received a grade of C or better in a law school professional ethics class. Pass a state-administered bar examination. Usually this consists of several parts administered over two or three days, typically including: The Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), in all states/territories except Louisiana, Washington and Puerto Rico. In the jurisdictions that do not use the MPRE, a professional responsibility ("ethics") exam is included as part of the main bar exam. State-specific examinations, such as essays in Washington, Minnesota and Massachusetts. Be certified (usually by the state bar association) as having the good moral character and fitness to practice law. Apply to that state's authority responsible for licensing lawyers and pay required fees. Upon approval by that authority, the admittee takes an oath to comply with the rules governing the practice of law in that state, and receives a certificate of admission. Some jurisdictions have additional educational requirements; however, Continuing Legal Education (CLE) is generally a matter of license renewal, not admission."
