Hi all,
I have 13 years' IT experience in secondary ed (plus a few years in industry), as well as several years as a college adjunct instructor. I'm looking at an MBA to expand the range of classes and potential schools I could teach at. I know my options are limited without a doctorate -- but you have to begin somewhere. I'm enrolled now in the UMass Lowell distance MBA program (I've only taken 2 classes), but I would love to take a year to have the actual "graduate student" experience, real classes, and the ability to meet new people.
I'm also interested in working on my Spanish proficiency. I took a lot of Spanish, and a study abroad, in my undergrad. I'm trying to decide whether an MBA like this would be a good way to work on my Spanish, while at the same time gaining the MBA credential.
One concern with regard to teaching is the lack of AACSB accreditation .... anyone have any idea how this would affect the marketability back home (USA), or if AMBA and the fact that it's a full-time, international program would offset this?
Thanks!
