In the previous article – Is Business Degree – MBA right for you? Its true that to get more money, MBA from top schools will help you get there. Also, MBA from Ivy league schools has more value to the degree. The term Ivy League represents group of 8 schools which are know for academic excellence, very selective in admissions, and reputation. Attending Ivy League schools means prestige. It opens up lots of doors filled with opportunities. Getting MBA from Ivy League Schools is very prestigious in itself. Only 6 schools offer MBA program. Two Ivy League universities, Brown University and Princeton University, do not have business schools.
