One year MBA for Social Entrepreneurship in USA

Dear arvindt,

One year programs in the US are rare as most are about 22 months long. For those that are less, they range more in the 15-18 month timeframe and usually require specific undergraduate business coursework and/or an undergraduate business degree. You might do a search on mba.com for the options that are available and do specific school research from there on requirements. Whether or not an MBA is worth the investment is a significant question that you should answer prior to spending time and money on applications. The answer to that question will depend on what you seek from your MBA experience and what you consider to be your return on that investment. In other words, is the return simply the salary you make on that first job after graduation? or is it long-term career potential? access to career opportunities? the education (knowledge & skills) gained from the program? all of those things? I encourage you to do some additional research on the MBA degree, your career goals, and specific schools to determine if you feel it is the next step for you.

Good luck,
Lisa
