FIND MBA BLOG is directed toward prospective and current MBA students. It features articles on various MBA programs across and outside the country. There are even interviews of MBA students and of those who are already in the world of business.
The highs
The articles in the FIND MBA BLOG are organized by categories and the months that they were written. An article can belong to more than one category. The article A Sneak Peek at Stanford’s Annual Cool Product Expo can be found under California, Media & Design and Energy & Natural Resources.
While other MBA guide blogs will focus more on different MBA schools, Find MBA BLOG provides you with the opportunity to know what actual people think of the MBA program that they are or were in. The interview articles are great additions to this MBA blog. The interviews beat out school reviews in that the person interviewed is actually experiencing or have experienced what the program and the school are like.
Other interviews provide insights on what students have to expect after they graduate. There is also an emphasis on the right values and attitudes that should accompany an MBA degree in order to succeed in business. Readers will then know whether they are in the right field or not.
Aside from the impressive interviews, Find MBA BLOG offers a book review section. Of course, the focus is still on MBA. An interactive MBA school map for Asia is also included. The map helps you find MBA schools per country in Asia.
The lows
While there are many helpful articles and interviews, the categories are less than helpful. The categories are only helpful to those who are only looking for a few articles here and there. But for those who want to use the blog extensively, it may not be as helpful. This is because place categories can include a jumble of topics whose only connection is the place. The categories are more like tags. There should be a separate set of categories to set apart events, interviews, book reviews, and maps. There should also be more maps and book reviews included.
The Internet certainly offers convenience, even in the field of academics. Online schools and brick-and-mortar universities now offer correspondence and online MBA programs. But before you decide to enroll in an MBA correspondence program, take a look at its advantages and disadvantages.
What are the advantages of enrolling in an MBA correspondence program?
An MBA correspondence program offers convenience. This particular feature also makes correspondence programs more attractive. Enrolling in an MBA correspondence program will give you the chance to study at home or in your free time. An MBA correspondence program will also let you work out your studying schedule. You can have more time for analyzing and reviewing lessons. This kind of MBA program will not require you to go to school so you can save on transportation expenses. There are also schools that have forums for their MBA correspondence program students. These forums will enable you to socialize with other students who are also taking the same kind of program.
What are the disadvantages of enrolling in an MBA correspondence program?
There are fraudulent online schools that offer these programs. So better make sure that you read enough information about the school you are planning to enroll to. To avoid wasting your time and money, enroll to schools that have a good reputation. You can also research about schools that are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
Although degrees earned through MBA correspondence programs are widely accepted, there are still employers who prefer individuals who have degrees from brick-and-mortar universities. In this case, it might be best to enroll in an online program offered by such universities. If possible, choose schools that will require you to go to campus to take exams. This will give you the chance to socialize with your classmates and build a career network.
