Will Your Employer Pay for an MBA Degree?
Some employers will pay for part or all of an MBA program if it will help the business and there are positions that a business would hire with an MBA. Talk to your Human Resources department to see if there鈥檚 a tuition reimbursement policy, and if so, what鈥檚 necessary to meet the requirements. Some businesses may have conditions such as requiring an employee to stay at the company for a certain period of time after completing the MBA, paying back the company if the employee decides not to continue, what will and won鈥檛 be covered such as books, and other policies.
If your company doesn鈥檛 have a tuition reimbursement policy, you can develop a case to try to convince them that it鈥檇 be worth their investment, similar to what you might do when asking for a raise. Show them your value, what you鈥檝e accomplished and how it has affected the company鈥檚 bottom line, how you plan to fit the program into your current schedule and what you can do for the business with an MBA.
