It is also noted that over the past few years, students have opted for online MBAs instead of campus-based programmes – an 85% increase between 2020 and 2021 according to data from the Association to Advance Collegiate Business Schools (AACSB).  

Benefits of studying an MBA online 

 

One of the biggest advantages to studying online is accessibility. The ability to access your course from wherever you are is a game-changer. All you need is an internet connection and a computer, and you’re ready to complete your Master’s from the comfort of your own home. This also widens your options when it comes to choosing your university, as factors such as cost and accommodation become less of a worry.  

 

An online MBA is much more cost-efficient than traditional, on-campus learning. You’ll have none of the relocating or visa costs, living expenses, or travel costs to and from the campus because all course material, assignments and tasks are available online. With less of the hassle, you’ll be able to concentrate on what’s most important. 

 

And better yet, the flexible nature of an online MBA fits around your lifestyle. Keep earning money in your current job and choose to study part time, whenever suits you.
