There are many reasons to choose an MBA as a way to grow your career, and this fall can be an ideal time to get started working towards getting a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA).
Once you have decided to work towards an MBA, there are many other choices to make. Is it important for you to go to a classroom every day, or do you need greater flexibility to work around a work schedule with online classes? Will you choose to take classes full-time or part-time?

This fall semester some Freshman will be decorating their dorm rooms at one of the beautiful campuses this fall, while others will be logging on to the UMass community from the comfort of their own home. Either way, it’s time to buy the textbooks you need for your classes, and if you are an online student, it may be a little more difficult to get to the campus bookstore.

One of the many reasons students take online classes is for the flexibility it provides for those working a full time job and to take a “full load” of classes to graduate sooner. One of the best aspects of taking online classes through UMass: the option to take classes as slowly or quickly as you like. Depending on students’ schedules and workload capacity, a full course load of six classes could be possible. If you know that you have a busy season coming up at work, perhaps a two class schedule makes more sense.

A necessary but sometimes unwelcome test, the SAT, is a tool used by higher ed institutions to judge the knowledge of potential students.

One of the biggest draws of online classes is their flexibility. Students also want a program that is reputable enough to ensure that they will be as strong candidates in the job market as those that went to a brick and mortar institution.
UMassOnline delivers the same quality education from each of the five UMass campuses, but in an online format. Many faculty members take the time to teach their courses online as well as in person. Through this system, UMass can offer a wide range of courses and programs.

Many young professionals start their careers in a field related to their undergraduate degree concentration. However, once they gain a few years of experience in the real world, some choose to change career paths. While a career change can sometimes require additional education, professionals now have a new option to get the required knowledge for new vocations: badge programs. Students can also take classes to receive a badge to further their career in their current field or to receive additional compensation by providing added skillsets.
