The MBA (Master of Business Administration) is a graduate degree in management that helps develop professionals into responsible managers and leaders by training them in the theory and practice of business management. The MBA enables professionals to make career transitions, increase their earning power, enjoy greater job security, and even start their own companies.

There are a variety of MBA program types available, including part-time, accelerated (1-year), executive, and traditional (2-year) programs. Traditional programs have typically been the most popular among international applicants. However, accelerated programs have recently gained popularity, especially among mature applicants who do not want to remain outside of the workforce for more than one year.
