MBA where?

[splirow]

As I start to look at potential graduate school options... I have a question for everyone here.

If i wanted to become a Professor at a college for business courses, can the cheaper options for MBAs floated in this forum qualifies me to do so? (ENEB, Elmwood, etc)

Has anyone achieved that?

All the cheap MBA options will work for you, I suggest reviewing this sticky thread and go for the HAU MBA as it's RA and less of a headache, you won't need to have a foreign evaluation like the ENEB double degree : https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...der-1-Year

Having said that, you can also do the ENEB double masters and have it evaluated as a graduate certificate, plus Validential as a Masters. There are some states that will allow teaching with this option, if you're in the states mentioned on the WIKI (my signature link for ENEB), you'll have a lesser risk of failure.

No, that isn’t realistically likely.

I think we’ve never seen any instance of someone becoming a professor of business on the basis of a master’s degree from either a proprio-type school such as ENEB or a nationally accredited DEAC school such as Elmwood.

Someone once pointed to an instructor in a non-degree vocational program at a community college in Canada who held an ENEB degree as their highest. But that community college program did not even require instructors to have any degree, just strong vocational experience.

I expect a few graduates with a DEAC qualifying degree have gone on to be instructors, but wholly or largely low-paid part-time adjuncts.

Hundreds of applicants often compete for a single position as professor. Competition is becoming even fiercer as many colleges are hit by declining student numbers due to demographics, declining government funding, and economic uncertainty.

The committees and officials who hire professors generally emphasize traditional markers of academic prestige. Will you have these?

Your competition will have deeply informed letters of recommendation from their professors about how their research projects reached the quality of a professor writing about their subject, and their in-class collaborations reached the depth of a professor teaching their subject. Will you have these?

I work for a University (4 year) at a Community College (2 year). Both schools require a Masters to teach but you also need experience in your field. Most of the time you need to have teaching experience as well. Most start off as a non-tenured position. Nearly off of the professors I work with have day jobs and teach on the side for one reason or another.

We don't know anything about your background. Perhaps you've been in the business sector for decades, and have been in charge of teaching new employees. I'm not saying that kind of teaching experience will qualify but it's better than nothing. Like it was mentioned, it's getting harder and harder to land tenured positions and/or get your foot in the door. Not saying it isn't possible but simply trying to give you a heads up that it might be a long road, especially if you're getting the MBA only to teach.

I would also have to say mostly no. Especially ENEB. I would suggest something that is RA. But you will need to back that up with experience.

Everyone will sway you in all directions, you'll have to be deciding for yourself after you've reviewed answers. Basically, as per my link above, you want to review the affordable masters options that have programmatic or secondary accreditation - preference to AACSB (for teaching at 4 year college or university and higher) and/or ACBSP (for teaching at community college and higher).

As I always recommend the balanced mix/match trifecta of certs, degree, experience, the other trifecta of cost, ease, speed will come into play. You want to do the triple tap (yes, the third trifecta) of A+B, add ROI/Value, and customize or personalize that learning to what you need and want. You decide with all the info provided to you which route you want to go, how to reach there...

Be your own guinea pig and see if doing the double ENEB for the extra knowledge and filling learning gaps will work for you, then do a proper MBA/DBA afterwards, you need to know your end goal and if that goal hits the requirements for the institution you teach at. Look at state, local, federal certification and licensing requirements as well. Good luck, keep us updated...
