Fastest MBA to Complete

[dfrecore]

I agree to be honest.  The MBA is a very generic degree that doesn't really offer any substainial additional knowledge that someone with a business administration degree doesn't already have.  The MBA is really more suited for someone like my business partner, he has a civil engineering bachelors and got his MBA afterwards to ensure he had the business background he needed.  

In the business world I think we would be better served with folks obtaining more specialized graduate level degrees that provided mastery of particular subject but unfortunately that isn't how it works.  The MBA is the gold standard because of the networking that was afforded by folks attending a traditional business school to obtain that MBA.

Agreed - I think the MBA is better for someone without a business degree, and if you have a business degree, you'd probably be better off getting a specialized degree in something else OR going more in depth in the area of business that interests you.  So for your business partner, an engineering degree + MBA is great.  For me, with a BSBA in HR, just getting a generic MBA doesn't provide me with a lot of bang for my buck, but an MS in Data Analytics (if I was working on an HRIS) or a Master's in HRM probably would do more for me.  Someone working in accounting with a Business degree would do well to get a MS in Accounting or Finance.
