In this series, I will address all of the necessary considerations for someone who wants to get an MBA. Though I teach at Charleston Southern University, I will try to be objective.
While I speak from my experience at CSU because it is my frame of reference, I will steer students to the places that are best for them (sometimes academics would make lousy business people. “Really? A two-seat sports car? You have a family of 5. Don’t you think this reliable minivan would be more practical?”)
We are all biased and you should run away from anyone who claims not to be. But, I will do my best to explain my reasoning instead of just asserting claims that may or may not be true. If, at any time, you have any questions, please feel free to email me: dgerdes[at]cusniv.edu (you will have to use the @ symbol if you type it. I wrote it this way to prevent spam bots).
What is a MBA?
I wish you the best as you consider this life-altering path.
