Master’s-level study in other countries could boost MBA careers
In an effort to boost their professional value, many businessmen and women are choosing to enroll in part-time MBA programs. These courses of study can allow them to gain valuable work experience while they update their educational qualifications. Some schools of management are beginning to recognize the importance of professional development and higher education by allowing degree seekers to explore potential careers while they are still enrolled. In fact, many business colleges are now including international components in their master’s program in order to help students learn the practices of other countries. For example, the University of Hawaii currently offers its executive MBA program in Vietnam, the Honolulu Star Advertiser reports. Enrollees my choose to study in either Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. American MBA programs that are available in other countries could enable degree seekers to become familiar with the business culture of emerging nations. As a result, they may be able to gain the knowledge they will need to help their current or prospective employers enter new markets. Professionals who have had similar learning experiences may be able to launch careers in consulting – a field that is expected to grow by 82 percent over the next eight years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. |
