Conquer the Business World with an MBA from Centennial College A Masters of Business Administration (MBA) postgraduate degree is one of the most coveted credentials for college graduates who plan on entering the competitive business world. It is, in fact, one of several business degrees that have an impact on a professional's salary and career advancement options. But MBA programs have evolved since their launch in the early 1990s. For one, programs are often shorter in length as a result of the highly competitive nature of business. Also, MBA courses have gone from being strictly fulltime to parttime, modular, international, distance learning and even online. An MBA from a reputable institution such as Centennial College's School of Business is proof of that evolution. With a broad range of program offerings that focus on the integration of information and communications technology, Centennial College is known as a leader in the business arena. With program choices ranging in everything from Human Resources Management and International Business Management to Financial Planning, Strategic Management and much more, there's something for everyone. Aside from variety, Centennial College's programs are customtailored to meet the needs of a competitive job market. Students obtain skills that are guaranteed to make them job ready and marketable. Many of the programs are also an excellent way of obtaining work experience, as they offer coops, internships and work placements. These options allow students to apply everything they've learned in their MBA courses to “real life” scenarios with actual customers, coworkers and employers. Many students are hired at their place of work following graduation. However, if you'd rather pursue further education upon graduation, Centennial College's International Business School also has many programs that are recognized by universities through articulation agreements. There are some essential skills that students develop during their time in Centennial College's MBA programs, which make them successful in the field. These skills include mastering economics, finance, marketing, operations management and accounting. However, MBA programs also teach students critical skills such as leadership, teamwork, ethics and communication, all of which are essential to success as business professionals.
