Interview with Associate Dean Dr. Mohammad Oskoorouchi

How an MBA Can Accelerate Your Career

An MBA is the swiss army knife of degrees. It provides you with a broad understanding of all functional areas of business. Professionals should pursue an MBA to increase their earning potential, unlock opportunities for leadership roles, and gain a strong professional network. The average MBA graduate will double their salary within three years of graduating and receive a promotion within the first year of receiving the degree. Many professionals find they are passed up for leadership positions, not because they lack expertise in their area, but because they lack general management skills. An MBA provides advanced business knowledge and critical skills that allows graduates to move up in their organization. MBA programs are rigorous, and the connections students make during the many hours of studying create lifelong professional ties.
