MEETING CAREER GOALS

Career impact, of course, goes beyond a promotion or a raise. An MBA can also result in increased self-confidence on the job, greater respect and admiration from colleagues, or a change that leads to a more fulfilling job.

That’s why we also ask graduates of online MBA programs if they achieved their primary goal of getting the degree, whatever that may be.

On a 10-point scale, alumni from four programs reported the highest rating for achieving their primary career-related reason for obtaining an online MBA degree. Alumni from two other programs rated their programs at 9.8.

To what extent did you achieve your PRIMARY reason for obtaining an online MBA degree?
