When 58-year-old Tom McKinley found himself without a job, the Minnesota resident knew his best option was to advance his skills while searching for employment, Bloomberg BusinessWeek reports. In order to do so, McKinely decided to enroll in a local mini master of business administration (MBA) program. These courses, which are offered at many schools across the country, allow individuals like McKinley to quickly advance their business knowledge without having to commit to two years of graduate school.
As these programs grow in popularity, many schools are adding mini MBA courses to their offerings. For example, the Florida Institute of Technology recently launched an online mini MBA program in healthcare management, according to a press release.
