The MBA is still the most popular Masters degree for working professionals. Before launching the MBA search, ask yourself these questions: Do you want to be a manager of people and their problems? Do you want to deal with budgets? Do you want to try to balance the needs of upper management with your departmental needs? Do you want to hire and fire, give raises or discipline sub-par performance? Do you want to set employee goals and deal with employee action plans?
Some alternatives to the MBA might be a blended degree with some project management courses, business classes and technical courses. These Master level derees are not the MBA, but may work better for your long term career goals.
Some master-level alternatives to the MBA are: MS Engineering Management; MS Project Management; MS Applied Technology; MS Management of Science and Technology; MS HR Management (or Health Care, or Sales or Non-Profit, etc.). Another alternative to the MBA might be a certificate program in Business Administration, Business Management or Project Management. These certificates do not require a lengthy admission process nor require an admission test such as the Graduate Management Test (GMAT).
