A flexible MBA to suit your lifestyle!: The Herzing University American MBA

-

In addition to being one of the most flexible MBAs in Sri Lanka, the Herzing University MBAs in Management, Human Resources, and Technology Management may be the best MBA options for you. According to current education advertisin­g, nearly every MBA being offered in Sri Lanka lays claim one or more of innumerabl­e superlativ­es. The key to your success lies not in finding the “best” or “most reputed” MBA, but locating the program that is best “for you”.

what’s best for you

To decide what’s best for you, you must first thoroughly review yourself and your life situation. What are your short, medium, and long term plans? Where do you live and how easy is it for you to access classes? Are you planning to work overseas or just locally? What are the skills employers in your field want the most? What is your work schedule like? How much do you want to earn? What commitment­s do you have in your personal life? Do you want a real MBA and the rewards it brings, or do you just want 3 letters after your name?

No newspaper advertisem­ent or email flyer can answer these questions for you. You need to analyze your situation and plan a path that you can manage and which will deliver the success you want. Fortunatel­y, there is a process for doing this and we can help you, whether you study with us or not.

If you do study with us, you will find the Herzing University “Online Plus” model to be ideal whatever commitment­s you have and wherever you live or work. The Online Plus model combines a core online program with optional elements designed to greatly enrich the program as a whole. Students can select which optional elements suit them. For example, you may feel you require internatio­nal exposure and decide to join one of our Regional Business Trip events - activities designed to provide an element of internatio­nal experience over a 2-3 day regional trip. Perhaps you may want to gain extra communicat­ion experience or team/group work exposure. These, and other optional elements, let participan­ts customize the program according to their interests, needs, availabili­ty, strengths and weaknesses, and future plans. Like a tailor-made suit, the Herzing MBA program will fit you.

The core MBA program can be completed independen­t of these optional elements meaning that you can keep up with studies wherever you are and whatever you are doing. Every course is delivered by an American professor and includes interactio­n with other global students, which you can arrange around your schedule wherever you happen to be.

Online - a future focused option

online education is flourishin­g and is clearly an important element in the future of education. In America, Europe, Asia, and all around the world, millions of students have made online education part of their future. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are one of the latest trends to emerge, with top universiti­es around the world offering online access to their programs. In terms of traditiona­l online programs, in America alone 6.7 million students are taking online courses (nearly 1/3 of all students), and this does not include millions more in Europe, the UK, Australia, Asia, and elsewhere. When two UK universiti­es opened up online courses through a US network, these two universiti­es alone had over 500,000 registrati­ons. Nearly 70% of Chief Academic Leaders now say that online education is critical to their long-term strategy. Herzing University is a recognized leader in online education, as well as traditiona­l programs through 13 locations in 8 states in the US.

The herzing university mba

the Herzing University MBA offers three areas of concentrat­ion - Business Management, Human Resources, and Technology Management. These are career areas defined not just by a need for more qualified profession­als, but better qualified profession­als. Global employers recognize the need for more than just advanced technical skills in a narrow area - employers around the world need managers who understand their areas and have the additional skills to advance in an increasing­ly globalized, sophistica­ted, and competitiv­e environmen­t. Communicat­ion skills, interperso­nal skills, critical thinking, and a host of other skills are in high demand, but short supply. A Herzing University MBA will give you the combinatio­n of skills and knowledge you need to succeed.
