Online degree - Master's (public health) vs MBA? Graduate from top college vs not so good graduate school?
Question:
(2) For my undergrad degree, I graduated from a top national college. There are more nationally reputable online master's programs than online MBA programs. Is it better to have the "name" than the type of graduate degree (MBA vs MPH)?
Answer:
The MBA gives you the biggest bang for the buck. In other words, you get the most money back for every dollar you spend on a MBA. So, a MBA is more valuable that a regular Master's degree.
If you're going to get a MBA, you should definitely go to a top college. As far as online degrees go, a lot of employers do not respect them. I would stay away from online universities - unless it was backed by a top university (e.g. - NYU Online, UPenn Wharton Online courses, etc.)
