MBA vs. Specialized Master’s Programs: Trends

Leave a comment Master's Programs, MBA Programs AK74

If you’ve just started to think about a business degree, then you may get confused by plethora of options offered by B-schools these days.

There are myriad of MBA programs (full-time two-year, full-time one-year, part-time, flexible, online, executive, and joint degree) and specialized master’s programs (accounting, finance, management, marketing, international management, supply chain management, data analytics, and so on) to choose from.

Why You Will Fail to Have a Great Career? [TED Talk]

Leave a comment Career, TED Talks AK74
