How to get an MBA quickly

It is clear nowadays that times have changed in universities and particularly in business schools. Today, many universities in the US, Asia and Europe recognize the same value as a degree to professional experience, skills, specific competencies acquired through years of work.

The problem is the verification of these skills, which has to be really equivalent to the content of a given course of study. Some Business Schools' courses of study, such as the MBA (Master of Business Administration), seem cut out on the experience of top managers in individual operating sectors. In these cases, practical experience from years of work confirms the theoretical programs developed by the school, so that many institutions are oriented toward evaluating practical experience in management as equivalent to academic experience, as long as this is proven by a thesis. This is the case in MBA by APEL (Accreditation Prior Experiential Learning) programs, where for admission purposes the candidate can be assessed in his or her prior study experience and managerial skills; this implies he/she might need taking only part of the required examinations, or in some cases, candidates with great managerial experience might have total exemption from the examinations. Obviously the condition remains that the candidate is able to demonstrate that the experiences assessed really match his or her CV through his or her Master's thesis. These programs, which usually take place via distance learning or online, make it possible to achieve the goal of getting an MBA quickly, often linked to the time required to complete the thesis.
