3 Essential Questions For Choosing Your Graduate Business Degree

Traditionally, prospective graduate students have looked to the MBA to get ahead in the business world, but the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data (BD) have expanded the options available to potential graduate students. Spawning from this demand, graduate programs like Masters of Business Analytics and Masters of Data Science have become more popular. In addition to programs that provide students with the technical knowledge to meet the needs of AI and BD, business leaders have been called to improve their leadership and teamwork capabilities. Short leadership development programs, like coach certification, and longer graduate programs like Masters of Organizational Dynamics (OD) fill this need (full disclosure: I’m a faculty member in Penn’s OD program).
