The reason there are only few master programs in business instead of MBA is simple. In terms of helping graduates to get a decent job, a somewhat "too general" MBA program is quite enough and even works better than so called "professional program".
I'm afraid I can't agree with you on this point. In my eyes, MBA and Master of Science in Business Administration are two different programs that designed for people with different career goals. I won't say a MBA is definately more valuable than a MSBA, because people who hold those two different degrees serve different functions in the organizations. As you said, MBA is more general perspective, while MSBA focus more on the technical skills, such as quantitative analysis, market research, IT, etc. From the business managerial perspective, MBA is a more well-rounded program for those who need a thorough and systematic coverage of all business knowledge in order to prepare themselves to be a future manager in the organazations. But the MSBA do have some merits for those who wants to work as a specialist, or a more technical oriented level management. Besides, MSBA program also offer certain amount of business elective courses, and also embeded business concepts into relevant specialized areas. That's the reason that MSBA is qualified to be offered from B-schools. |
