Students who are working towards a masters degree specializing in business can become qualified for several career-related benefits, including national recognition for industry-related achievements. By being acknowledged for one's professional success, MBA holders may be more attractive to future employers.
For example, representatives from the National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) have announced the winners of this year's awards program, which honors individual and company support of improving opportunities of the Hispanic population. Business professionals, companies, outreach programs and schools are recognized each year for their contributions to bettering Hispanic communities.
Winners are selected from several different categories, including corporate excellence, member services, entrepreneurial excellent and educational excellence. State Farm, a national insurance company, and the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame were among the institutions that were acknowledged for their support of the Hispanic population across the country.
"This list of winners serves as a beacon to both the public and private sectors, and sets the stage for our future winners - knowingly or unknowingly - already doing great things within our community," said Steven Ramos, interim CEO of the society.
In addition to professional success, individuals who complete MBA programs may also be qualified for high-paying jobs. In fact, the highest earners among graduate degree holders can earn up to $2,221 more per week compared to those with a bachelors degree, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports.
