"...New MBA Degree" may be a better title.
There are still plenty of subjects where getting a Masters degree or even a PhD is the gateway to learning more thoroughly about that particular field/subject.
- tansey 14y agoIndeed. If you are an undergrad looking to become a data scientist or even wanting to found a big data, machine learning, etc. company, starting a company with a BS in CS is not a better path than going to grad school.

- quizbiz 14y agoI'm a BBA undergrad that started a limited liability corporation. We were given the extraordinary opportunity to present our budget to the Executive Committee of University's Board of Trustees. But trying to find a quarter of a million dollars from my own alma matter isn't easy. http://www.universitycollaboration.com http://www.universitycollaboration.com :)
- sgpl 14y agoI'm not sure how this is relevant to my parent comment. Also, some unsolicited feedback: * The product page keeps jumping between campusbubble.com and universitycollaboration.com * The "Try Demo" asks the user to click on the contact us link that takes you to the contact page. The "Beta Test" page also links to the contact page. Essentially there is no way of "trying out" what the product does for something that has been in development since 2011. * The left column on the "Try Demo" page has two deadlinks instead of previews. * And as a (recent) former student, I am not sure the value the product provides to students over much simpler solutions (such as: facebook groups, r/mycollege, group texting apps for study groups, pizzza.com, etc). Good luck regardless.
- quizbiz 14y agoI fixed things thanks to you! :) Would you use www.emorybubble.com/preview if you were an alum?

- dm8 14y agoIndeed! MBA was meant to train junior managers from big co's. It's objective was to train them to do better management with things like people, operations and finances. Nowadays, getting MBA means changing career or shortcut to entrepreneurship for lot of folks.
