Is an MBA Worth It?

Why earn an MBA? Is an MBA worth the investment? By all accounts, the answer is yes. Professionals who pursue an advanced degree are more likely to get promoted and often take home higher salaries than their counterparts who do not have an MBA.

The Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) conducts yearly surveys of corporate recruiters' projections, recent alumni outcomes, and alumni perspectives that point to the true ROI of earning an MBA.
