Education Abroad

Due to ever-increasing demands as well as possibilities in the business world, more and more people occupying high managerial positions decide to advance their career having earned dual degrees such as JD/MBA joint degrees. Being able to explore careers in two different fields, finding interesting and rewarding job with high income and promotion opportunities are the main benefits of dual degrees.

Therefore, such combined programs safe not only your money but also your time. Nevertheless, you should remember that this implies also that you would have to work harder due to a rigorous course and tighter schedule.

The tuition fee for JD/MBA dual degree programs is very high, approximately $80,000; however, JD/MBA degree is a great investment in your career and future in whole. Moreover, there are grants, scholarships and fellowships that schools grant to applicants who can show excellent academic and professional abilities. You should bear in mind that such grants are highly competitive, that's why do not forget to apply to schools for grant money as soon as possible.

You can also select the type of studying; many colleges and universities offer campus-based, online or long distance programs, so you can chose which way of learning is the most convenient for you.

MBA starting salary can be the last convincing factor. The salary of the MBA is two or even three times higher than of people with college diplomas.
