Is getting an MBA worth it?

An MBA is considered one of the most prestigious degrees and research shows:

  • In a 2021 study, the return on investment (ROI) for an MBA degree at IU Northwest was 225%, significantly higher than the Indiana statewide average (+164%) and the national average (+154%).
  • The overall return on investment (ROI) for an MBA is higher than any other master's degree.
  • The ROI for a top-ranked school is dramatically lower than other schools.
  • Flexible hybrid and part-time MBA programs give higher ROI than full-time MBA programs.
  • Public schools beat private schools in ROI.

MBAs are leaders in both professional and public life. So, whether you are looking to impact your organization or your community, acquiring an MBA is a wise choice.
