Re: Business PHD Vs MBA

The two main differences between the MBA and Ph.D. business programs are the length of the program and the anticipated postgraduate career. Business management students often display a strong desire or ability for the corporate industry, and many degree-seeking professionals expect their degree to pay off in their chosen field. Most MBA students seek to earn a higher wage and career advancement, while Ph.D. graduates tend to enter academics.

Ph.D. programs also allow students to specialize in a particular area of business. The options usually offered include accounting, management, finance, marketing and operations. Unlike MBA programs, few doctoral programs may be taken on a part-time basis.
