You could return to work with a promotion
The most obvious benefit of an Executive MBA program is that it makes graduates more competitive in professional growth opportunities. Whether that’s moving up at your current company or being better prepared for external roles that could come available, having an MBA makes you stand out.
It also makes it more likely for you to move up. According to the Executive MBA Council’s 2019 Student Exit Survey, 40% of survey respondents received a promotion during the program and 53% reported increased responsibilities in their role.
Your salary could go up
Just as your Executive MBA makes you more competitive with the job search and promotions, it can also help you make more money. The Executive MBA Council’s 2017 Student Exit Survey showed that 13.5% of graduates received an increase in compensation after program completion.
There are many reasons for an Executive MBA, but at its simplest form, graduating can give you an opportunity to ascend the corporate ladder and make more money.
Your EMBA might be free
While you’re considering the amount of extra income an MBA could give you, it’s also important to recognize that you might not have to pay for it to happen. Many companies are now paying some or all of the money necessary for employees to receive an Executive MBA. According to The Executive MBA Council’s 2019 Student Exit Survey, employers sponsored 31.8% and fully funded 15.4% of students pursuing an Executive MBA in 2019. It’s an important idea to consider and look into if you’re deciding whether an Executive MBA is the right decision for you.
