MA Degree Programmes/Courses in US?

[Mona Lisa]

Well I would like to know some information about Masters Programmes in US universities.

1. If you're currently studying or studied postgraduate course (MA) please share your experience.

2. If you know general info on Masters programmes where and which university offer reasonable degree programme in business subject

3. Finally are there any incentives for students who already got MA degree from British Universities? (probably a stupid question but anyways :) )


Thanks in advance!

If you are planning to get an MBA, apply only to those schools that are in NE and New England area or California on the west side. If you have MA already, there're less reasons for you to get MBA, since it will not make much difference in your career at this point. What you need is experience, so if I were you I would not bother trying to get into decent Business school in the US, because without experience you are in a significant competitive disadvantage. But if it's just for the sake of having MBA degree regardless of University's reputation, don't bother either - it's just a waste of time and money. For some reason I thought you were doing a BA/MBA program, and if I am right you are out of luck, because most of the elite business schools will not let you have 2 MBAs. Best of luck, nonetheless.

Any reason why they won't allow me to have 2 MBAs ? Just curious :?

Hmm plan is in fact not to further my education straight away. (I already got sick of it!) Probably in 2 years or so...

I do not know precisely why they wouldn't let you have 2 MBAs (also, most elite schools do not let you have second BA/BS degress through their school as well), but remember getting MBA will not help you much unless you are planning to apply for at least Associate or Managerial position. Thus, I would rather look for specific MS degrees in Finance, Accounting, etc (whatever you might be interested in).
