Getting an MBA to increase your potential? |
Always wondered if your earnings might increase with an inclusion of an MBA to your credentials?
The GMAC study shows that US MBA graduates reported an average starting salary of US$77,000 (S$135,520), up from an average of US$50,000 before they pursued the degree. It also noted that global demand to take its GMAT, the admissions test most business schools use, was up 13 per cent in the first half of the year, and had jumped even faster in the past month.
In a web article, GMAC president Dave Wilson said 'The harsh reality is the demand for the MBA is incredibly strong.'
There are many benefits of doing an MBA after the getting that basic first degree. Coupled with some years of working experience, an MBA represents an excellent opportunity for middle-level professionals to pursue graduate degree qualifications.
An excellent time to enrol in an MBA programme is now. The International Master of Business Administration programme by SIU allows many working individuals who are busy to pursue their academic needs as it is conducted online. The SIU MBA program is designed to provide advanced work in major areas of theory of business practices, subject matter competence and thesis research.
In the SIU MBA, participants learn how business and management work in a global environment and it allows the students to pick up valuable insights into the corporate world.
In line with the fast paced business world, the SIU International MBA may be completed in less than two years which allows participants to apply their knowledge in the realm of their corporate world. With the vast potential of the Web, the programme is delivered on-line which offers convenience and ease of access for travelling and busy executives. Study time is entirely flexible and can cater to their own schedules.
Students who will benefit largely from this SIU International MBA programme include middle-level professionals who want to broaden their understanding of how functional areas within a business inter-relate in a global environment. However, that does not mean that the programme is limited to the persons above. Individuals who will benefit too include executives and business school graduates who need to update their business skills and education.
Experienced professionals who are working in the private, public sector and individuals working in for profit and non-profit organisations can learn how to leverage on these business skills for their organisation.
A large number of technical professionals wanting to move into management positions who need skills in resource management and global operations can appreciate the knowledge. Last but not least, practising entrepreneurs, small business people, accountants, lawyers, government employees, health care workers, and others responsible for managing their own practices and making sound business decisions are likely candidates as well.
It is understandable that the recognition of an MBA programme is very important to those considering academic advancement. After all, investing time and funds into a programme that is widely recognised pays for itself many times over.
The MBA program is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
Part of the strengths of the MBA programme hinges on the list of facilitators. They include Dr. Georgine Fogel, Dr. Charles Englehardt, Dr. Macgorine Cassell, Dr. Susan Yurko to name a few.

It is important to understand that there is no magic formula to increasing your earning quotient. What getting an education can do for anyone is to give them the knowledge needed to make business decisions. The rest is really up to the individual to apply the gained knowledge from the MBA to real world situations.
