Are online masters degrees worth it?
I am about to graduate with a BS in Engineering Management, Information Systems and a BS in Mathematics. I am really interested in entrepreneurship and want to eventually go to graduate school. However, considering this day and age, I'd really like to customize my schedule and possibly take online classes to complete an online masters degree, but I'm not sure if its worth it. I am afraid that it will be looked down upon by future employers. Is this true? Help!
Would it be possible for me to complete a Masters degree in mathematics after my MBA without very much undergrad math?
I was in a similar situation. I had a BA in physics (so more higher math like vector calc, diff eq, and some programming classes that the typical MBA) so its fair to say I had a leg up. But our assumptions were probably similar - we like “math”, why not get a masters in it?Before being allowed to take graduate math classes, I had to take some undergrad courses in Real Analysis. This was an entirely different experience than any previous math courses. It wasn’t a “math” course (learning new algorithms to solve problems) - it’s a “mathematics” course (how do you prove these concepts?)If the real analysis course had been offered in the traditional “theorem-proof” manner, it very well might have kept me from continuing on. But my professor taught it using the “Moore method” (Moore method - Wikipedia) which was very engaging.Just know that for a math degree, you’re going to study “mathematics”, not “math”.
What major is better for me if i redo my Masters' degree?
I strongly recommend you meet with an academic advisor at the college you plan to attend and look at all of your options. If you do need another degree, you may wish to CLEP some of the courses you have taken in India to get credit for them towards your next degree. If you want to teach, you may consider engineering and/or mathematics...perhaps a Ph.D. Best wishes.
Which have better career outcomes, MBAs or STEM masters degrees?
Both will yield good career outcome depending on what your aptitude is for these courses, where you are at and the career you aspire after you have gain your Masters qualification.STEM is, as you know, involving careers in the Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics areas, while MBA relates to careers in the Business Management areas.MBA is a Professional Master qualification, often undertaken by graduates with one of the STEM qualifications but desirious to gain some business management knowledge/training/qualification to allow them to move into the management area may be in the company or institution they work in, say an engineer has been promoted to a managerial position in the company with little or no business management education.However, if you have a qualification in the STEM category, but want to gain higher knowledge or want to undertake research in one of the STEM categories, may want to gain a Master in one of the STEM post-graduate courses. This then may open up greater opportunities for you to do research or specialize in the STEM area, such as doing research in Medical Science, or Computer science or Engineering area.As such, both courses in the MBA and Masters courses in the STEM categories may offer you attractive career opportunities. It all depends on your aptitude, aspiration and in which category you are currently employed. Hope this helps.
Is a Masters of Economics better than a MBA?
A business degree followed by an MBA is not a good idea. The education is too narrow and there is too much duplication. MBA programs accept students in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business major because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. The best majors are in the sciences, engineering, or math, but other majors are also suitable. Any field of endeavor can use good management. MBA programs prefer students with 2-4 years work experience after the first degree. Some accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. But in those programs you don't get the benefit of learning from other students who have work experience. A lot of valuable learning takes place through class interaction. Also when you graduate your job offers will be about the same as a business undergraduate gets because you have no work experience, and you've been two years out of your undergraduate field so it's hard to get work in that area. 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. A masters in economics is fine also if you want to be an economist rather than a manager. It would get you a good staff position doing research and analysis.
Double major vs. masters degree?
I'm a senior in high school and I am starting to think about my major or majors. I definitely want to go to graduate school, but I want to know if it would be better to double major and then get my masters or just major in one subject then get a masters. In particular I was thinking majoring in economics and getting my masters in economics. Would it be better to just get a bachelors in economics or would it be better if I got another bachelor in mathematics and then get a masters in economics?
Hi,i did master degree in maths from india and now i m in america,i want to do MBA online from american?

What degree is harder MBA or MA
MA. Business school is really hard for one year, and then it's like one big social party where the whole point is to make connections with potential employers...and get drunk and party and extend your colleges years.
How important is a master's degree (MBA/MS) if you want to build your career in analytics/data science?
Building your career in analytics/data science is more about logical thinking and ability to understand the business requirements. You should have a crisp workflow of how the analytics solution you are devising is going to be useful to the client.You can always learn the statistics part through extensive reading and practice. That being said, companies do give you a preference if you have a Masters degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Economics or Computer Science.
