Ok, which degree is better? An MBA from Johns Hopkins or an MA in Management from an Ivy League School?
I have a choice to attend both but I would like to know which degree would serve me better out there in the marketplace. Thanks

Why not the MBA from the Ivy League school, if you can get in there at all? Johns Hopkins' MBA program is in transition right now, and it hasn't had the greatest of reputations in the past. It is hard to know how easily they will be able to do what they want to do, given some of the university's restrictions. On the other hand, an MA isn't a normal management degree; my suspicion is that it would be something you would get from some liberal arts department, rather than from the business school at that school.

Johns Hopkins is a great university -- but it is not known for business. You would be better off getting an MBA from any ranked business school instead of Johns Hopkins. If you really want to be in Baltimore -- University of Maryland would be a better choice. As for Ivy League schools -- any MA from an Ivy League school would be good. I wonder about the MA in Management, though. Six of the Ivy League schools have MBA programs -- which would be better than the MA. The other two (Princeton and Brown) don't have business schools. This makes me think that the MA program must be through the extension school rather than the business school. You would be better off getting an MBA from a ranked school than through an extension program at an Ivy League school. But you would not be better off getting an MBA from an unranked program like Johns Hopkins.

MA from harvard if it is legit

I would not do either. An MBA from an unranked program does little more for you than a BS in business. While Harvard's MA in Management program allows you to take some classes on-line, some classes must be taken in person in Cambridge. Only their Certificate Programs can be completed taking only on-line classes. See the link below for more details. Even with this degree, employers will know that it is not an MBA. Still -- it is a master's degree from Harvard -- and is worth something.

Which degree would be a safer bet? A regular MA in Management from Yale or an MBA from Johns Hopkins? Will the ivy name overide Hopkins name even though the Hopkins degree has the letters MBA? How would you guys sort this out?

If you are good enough to get into either of those you are a well prepared and smart dude. Being that smart you have to ask yourself - do I want to work for a place that placed more emphasis on where I studied something rather than what I studied? Based on what you are studying if you want to manage/lead people then the degree in management is the way to go. If you want to prepare yourself for a business career that may or may not include management then an MBA is the way to go. Thanks Bill

I don't think that any ivy league schools actually offer an MA in management. Yale does not, UPenn does not, Harvard does not, Dartmouth does not, Columbia does not, Cornell does not, Brown does not. Princeton has an MS in Finance. Yale, UPenn, Harvard, Dartmouth and Cornell have MBA programs. Brown has no graduate business programs. So an MBA from any Ivy League business school would be better than the John Hopkins MBA. The finance program at princeton is not comparable to the MBA so it really depends on what your goals are.

if i were you, definetely go for ivy league. it make a difference in your post grad degree

The Yale School of Management is a bit different from the other MBA programs...in that it has a masters' in management and has a focus that is more towards public policy as opposed to private enterprise. That said, it is a pretty prestigious program and many graduates do go on to employment with Fortune 500 companies and the like. It's a good program but you will have to check it out if the curriculum is in line with what you want to do professionally. The Hopkins MBA is a relatively new degree program and doesn't carry the weight of, say its public health, medical school or international relations (SAIS) program, and I say this as a Hopkins graduate....unless you're going for the joint MA in International Studies from SAIS + MBA from Wharton program, which is a different bag altogether. I hope this helps - good luck with your future.

No. an MBA is a Masters degree which outweighs any MA or MS degree. the more education the better pay.....

They are not "better" - they are different. The MBA is a generalist practitioner degree covering all areas of business operation. An MA in Management is an academic degree specializing in the academic and theoretical study of management as a field of study. The MBA is a "how to..." degree whereas the MA is a "why we do..." degree. In some circles (all things equal), the MBA will be considered the preferred credential (such as managing a business) - in others (such as in a college as a teacher of management) the MA will be preferred. They are, in fact, apples and oranges.

What can I do with a BA in Government and an MA in Management
What can I do with a BA in Government and an MA in Management?
Both degrees are from a really good american college. The MA in Management is a concentration in International managment. Is an MA in Management a reputable degree or is it viewed in a much lower light in comarison to the MBA? Could I work for the government in terms of economic policy?

yes you could work for the government .there are alot of government jobs available for people with a BA, and in alot of instances they dint care if you have a degree in underwater BB stacking as long as you have a bachelor's
2
It is not viewed any lower. It is probably better than an MBA initially since the best ones require work experience - save it for when you have a few years and go for one of those executive MBA's. Tons of careers are possible, business analyst, public sector worker etc etc. You have a masters now - researching to find stuff out is what you have been trained at.
