NEW DELHI: With the advent of the Internet and advancements in technology, schools have realised the importance of online education. In order to cater to working professionals, who don’t have the time to attend a full-time MBA programme, many schools have started offering online programmes.
Online MBA is an excellent option for working students: you can pursue an MBA and take up specialisations such as finance, marketing, international business, etc.
“One important benefit and difference between an ordinary MBA and an online MBA is the asynchronous sessions. When you have the time, you follow the forums and appear for the exams. Also, the opportunity to review classes and discussions several times is extremely valuable. This is the only way for many managers to do an MBA, and of course valuable for participants in different time zones. The challenge is to ‘virtually’ put your personality, skills and knowledge, and network across. Also you need more cross-cultural and social skills in order to succeed on the Internet; words are more apparent when written online,” says Sara Sjogren, a Swedish student pursuing an online MBA at IE Business School.
