First, you must decide if an MBA is the right degree. Only a little more than one million people in the entire world have MBA's. Even though the need for an MBA is obvious, thousands of students would not be spending the time and money to obtain the degree unless it paid off. It most clearly does. Those with master's degrees earn more money, advance more quickly and spend less time finding new jobs. These factors combine to significantly increase lifetime earnings. The primary objectives of an MBA are for students to develop and integrate: analytical skills for decision making that incorporate global, ethical and culturally diverse dimensions skills in assessing organizational performance and developing approaches for improvement leadership skills, and interpersonal skills that contribute to teamwork. I've been an entrepreneur practically all of my working life, and UNO's EMBA Program helped me to relate practical business experience to formal business concepts and procedures. Additionally, the educational experience gained from this program has tremendously assisted me, in my present position, in counseling small businesses and helping them to grow, prosper and succeed". Allison B. Randolph, III District Director Louisiana District Office Small Business Association MBA vs. EMBA The EMBA is designed to provide maximum convenience and minimum aggravation for those managers and professionals who do not have the time to deal with difficult schedules and extended breaks. The EMBA staff takes care of administrative details so that the students have more time to prepare for classes. The classes are conveniently scheduled on alternating weekend. Additionally, students are formed into small work groups, which remain together for the entire program. The UNO EMBA program is designed around these small work groups. The small-group format is important to students since the groups provide important social and academic support for their members. Group members will constantly 'trade off' their strengths and weaknesses. Because of the interdependence on team members, students are encouraged to be certain of their commitment to earning an MBA through this intensive seventeen-month program.
