Would an MBA be beneficial in my scenario, or a waste of time?
Trying to decided if an MBA is worth it for me. It would be a part-time, online MBA that would be about 70-90% covered by my employer depending on the program. It’s a mid-tier university not a big brand name, but a solid university.
My background is in clinical operations management and healthcare technology startups. I have about 7 YOE. I am a Senior Director at a very large health system. My role and my career are strategy, finance, and operations focused within healthcare/digital health. I have an MHA and a public health undergrad both from no name schools.
Would an MBA as I’ve described be beneficial in my progress towards VP/C-suite at health systems/digital health companies? Or should I be considering different degree options? I wouldn’t be using it as a career pivot, but it would be to sharpen my knowledge in finance, strategy, and innovation, while also adding a more well known university to my resume.
