It's the time of year when prospective applicants are preparing for
the next admissions season. If you too are planning for next year,
you may be wondering:
- Should you go to graduate school?
- To which kind of program should you apply?
To answer those questions "Begin with the end
in mind” as Dr. Stephen Covey advises. Unless you seek a
graduate degree strictly for personal growth and the intellectual
benefits -- pretty rare -- you should pursue the degree in order to
advance professionally or achieve a professional goal. That advice
means you need to have a professional goal.
For example, you should pursue an MBA if you need
the credential or education to advance in your career or move into a
business management role. The IT person who wonders whether to
pursue an MS in computer science or an MBA needs to decide whether
he wants to progress in technical roles or if he wants a broader
degree that will prepare him for management positions. Does he want
to deepen his skill set or complement his previous education? If the
former, the MS is more appropriate; if the latter, the MBA will
better prepare him for his desired career.
