The Evolution of ‘e’- MBA goes Online

While crooning to a popular Queens’s song, you realize how impossible it is to be true – We DO need education; and not just high school but all the way to masters. An MBA is becoming mandate for anyone who wants to survive in this corporate world.

As children we grow up to despise studies, as we grow older we realize how mandatory it is to survive. This evolution in your thought process through years and ages; applies to everyone in this world. From making excuses to not go to school to finding extremely innovative reasons to bunk etc.; the rebel in us thrived then. As soon as we reach the stage where we start looking beyond our picket fences, we realize that whatever we saw and learnt in school was just the first page of our life story; and now you have an entire book to publish. The perception that we had before we grew up was generally in lines with a ‘mandatory’ high school diploma to an ‘option’ of a master’s degree but that has changed. With the growing global demand, nothing is left optional.

Point of Higher Education

Evolution of educational system over the years has been tremendous. From the abacus to the tablet, this world has definitely seen a huge jump in the educational structure. Higher education is no more a ‘want’ but a ‘need’ of the hour. It is a requirement that pushes most of us to go ahead and get that ‘master’ certification.

We have heard about plenty high school or college drop outs making it big in this world; but have you wondered – who do these high school drop outs hire? Unless you are an entrepreneur or absolutely sure of your talent and specialization; being a graduate no more holds that position in your CV that it did few years ago. When you look at the corporate world, being a graduate is as common as a high school diploma. It is not that you would not get jobs without a master’s degree, but yes, the kind you get definitely would differ in terms of post and pay.

Master’s degree has a variety of courses, which covers most of the fields -from technical to non-technical. But the most common and the widely sorted after master’s course for both employees and employer is of a business administrator.

Transformation of MBA from Class-learning to E-learning

An MBA degree not only gives you the experience and the understanding of the corporate world, but also the possibility to get placed in the world’s best industries.

The added advantage of being in this era is that education is no more limited to pen and paper. A degree that is so versatile in its course structure has now incorporated that versatility in their teaching style too. They have transformed education beyond the classroom and incorporated the ‘e’ factor to it.

Online MBA and regular MBA are quite similar to each other. The only difference is that the first one uses the help of the virtual world to communicate. They usually use a lot of interactive online tools to teach like – video conferencing, Skype, posting lectures and class recording posted on their website etc. The course structure is very versatile, with a lot of case studies and industry exposure. At the end of the day, all you require for online MBA is a good computer and a strong internet connection.
