Should You Earn an MBA?
According to Harvard Business Review, a general MBA offers three big benefits:
- Development of practical leadership and management skills as well as quantitative business skills
- A credential that signals your effort to improve and ability to rise to challenges
- The opportunity to build relationships in a learning community to gain access to an alumni network
An MBA with a real estate track also offers a significant advantage in a saturated industry. It can lead to a lucrative career in asset management, analysis, planning and project management.
Longwood’s MBA Degrees
