The
Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a master's degree in business
administration, which attracts people from a wide range of academic
disciplines. The MBA designation originated in the United States, emerging
from the late 19th century as the country industrialized and companies
sought out scientific approaches to management. The core courses in the MBA
program are designed to introduce students to the various areas of business
such as accounting, marketing, human resources, operations management, etc.
Students in the MBA program have the option to select an area of
concentration and focus approximately one-third of their studies in this
area.
Accreditation bodies exist specifically for MBA programs to ensure
consistency and quality of graduate business education, and business schools
in many countries offer MBA programs tailored to full-time, part-time,
executive, and distance learning students, with specialized concentrations. |
