Master of Business Administration
From Wikinfo
Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a tertiary degree in business management. It is one of the few master's degrees with more prestige than the associated doctor's degree.
An important admission criterion to most MBA programs is the GMAT test. Schools that offer the MBA are usually known as either management or business schools.
An MBA is considered a professional Master's degree rather than a traditional or academic Master's degree.
The UK Government announced in its April 2004 budget that persons holding an MBA degree from the world's top fifty business schools will be entitled to work in the UK for one year. After this year has elapsed, they are likely to qualify for the UK's Highly Skilled Migrant Programme. This, in effect, means that an MBA from one of the top schools is a ticket to UK residency status.
