The same as the difference between bicycles and bowling balls. Mast of Arts is typically a one-year program in one of a variety of fields. MBA is a master in business administration, typically requiring two years of study after 2-4 years of work experience following your undergraduate education. To learn more about the MBA, explore the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria.

Thinking of becoming a teacher. MA in Education vs. MA in Management

Thinking of becoming a teacher. MA in Education vs. MA in Management?
I recently became interested in pursuing a teaching career (High School English). I am going to be enrolling in Graduate School soon. Would it be advantageous to pursue a MA in Management and then get my Teaching Certification in English. Or, would it be better to get my MA in Education (English)? I am concerned that if I do not become a teacher, an MA in Education will limit me as opposed to an MA in Management which might serve to open a few doors for me. Moreover, I would eventually like to become a High School Administrator. Please advise

you have given the answer yourself ....I am concerned that if I do not become a teacher, an MA in Education will limit me as opposed to an MA in Management which might serve to open a few doors for me..... Go for MA Management.....you can go into many other fields, banking, medicine, have a Business of your own...and if you are interested in teaching too then you can have part time tuitions

Defiantly a Degree in Education. Which is four years of an Arts or Science degree then roughly two years of an Education degree. A minimum of two years of teaching/leadership experience is recommended before pursuing your Masters of Education. To become a High School Administrator you need years of experience usually and/or a leadership certificate of some sort.

I would vote for the Management degree. Just so long as you understand that getting your teaching certification might require additional "schooling," though probably not in a typical college classroom. My old school district used to have a program where you could teach full-time and take some evening classes towards your teaching certificate (but you had 3 years to complete those). In addition, while you were teaching (with or without the certificate), you were paid a higher salary for having a Master's, regardless of the field.

MBA or MA Tourism Management

MBA or MA Tourism Management?
If I want to get into the field of tourism specifically, would it be better to do an MBA (only because employers seem to prefer MBA's for some reason) or should I do an MA in Tourism Management which is more specific? Thanks for your advice!

I would suggest the MA in Tourism Management because it's much more specialized. In the future, once you have enough experience you will be able to use the skills learned in different settings if so desired.

It depends on your career objective. The MBA is a general business degree training students for top level management positions up to CEO or for those with entrepreneurial objectives of starting their own business. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, management, statistics, economics, strategy, policy, and other courses. Many MBA programs offer concentrations in these and many other fields, but that amounts to only 2-3 courses in your chosen field in the second year of study. Many students avoid a concentration and take a variety of elective subjects to gain a broader background. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree. The Master of Science is a specialized degree in a particular field such as finance, chemistry, accounting, engineering, etc. training students for top level staff and research positions who prefer not to get into general management. The MS typically requires an undergraduate education in the field in which you want the MS, or a closely related field. A finance major does not get an MS in chemistry, and a biology major does not get an MS in accounting. If you want to specialize in a particular field other than business administration, such as finance, marketing, operations management, human resource management, or a non-business field such as public health, or public administration, you should get an MS degree in that specialization. MS programs typically do not require work experience. The Official MBA Guide provides a lot of information about the MBA degree and MBA schools and programs. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs.

I got a BA in art, can I get my MA in technology management

I got a BA in art, can I get my MA in technology management?
I have no knowledge of programming at all. I only know a little html and CSS, but not C++. Can I apply to the Master's program for technology management, and they'll teach me programming there? Or should I get an associate's degree in information technologies THEN go get my masters? Can you recommend me some schools? I heard they have to be accredited with some tech organization to really get my money's worth. Help?

You can always apply, but there will probably be prerequisites that you don't have. Check with the admissions/advising department for the tech program you want and ask them what they recommend. You might not need to get an Associates, you might just need a few extra classes. They can tell you about the accredidation recommendations as well and maybe recommend some good volunteer experience that might increase your chances. Good luck!

Not all Technology is Computers. If you specialize in Transportation when you take Technology Management, you do not need to know any programming at all. Zero. Zip.
