Centurion Company Reviews - An MBA from a top school can cost almost $100,000—a huge expense. But is it really worth it?Top HR recruiters, CEOs, and startup innovators disagree about the value of MBAs, depending on the situation and person.
Attaching the MBA to your name can affect your hiring chances, your networking abilities, and your innovation skills. While none of the recruiters think to waste your time at a less-than-prestigious graduate program, they do debate whether the top ones deliver on the promise of producing better business leaders.
MBAs are absolutely essential—but you've got to find the right program for you
Christine Ricci believes that an MBA is crucial for success in the business world.
"An MBA or some advanced degree is almost a must-have right now," she said. "It's expected now."
Ricci handles marketing and public relations for B.E. Smith, an interim leadership recruiting firm that focuses mainly on health care industries.
"I'm even seeing senior leaders that are very seasoned go back and get one just because their organization is putting the pressure on to go back and get one," she said.
However, Ricci cautions, not all MBAs are created equally.
"I think it's more important to find the program that's a good fit for you," she said.
If you're fresh out of undergraduate studies, a business school that focuses on seasoned professionals probably is not the best fit, Ricci said.
