Continuing Education:

As members of LMC alumni we have received a great undergraduate degree.  Continuing that education is just as important if not more important to continue on along the path of success.  Many members go on to acquire a masters degree and some pursue new career options.  Below are some master degree programs and information:

Types of MBA’s:

One Year Full Time MBA (Strict prerequisites with work background or academic training)
Length: 11 to 16 months, shortened by reducing the time in core classes or limiting opportunities to specialize
Advantages: Career enhancers who wish to continue in the same job function or industry but at a higher level – A very specialized program can save you time and you may be able to customize
Limitations: Internship opportunities are limited, some employers may not consider a one year program a favorable option for a Masters

Two Year Full Time MBA (4 semesters long with a three or four month break for an internship.  First year is core classes and the second year allows for functional specialization.)
Advantages: Provide an opportunity to develop knowledge in a specific discipline, leading to new job skills and prospects.
Limitations: Very expensive and time consuming.
Advise: Be confident about what you wish to do in the future and willing to commit time and resources.  Be ready to spend an extended period of time out of the workforce and have the resources to pay.  You should also have well defined career goals.
