The Self-Study MBA vs. Ivy League MBA programs: The ‘Self-Study’ approach

Self-Study

The concept of Self-Study or Self-Education is very important. Spoon-feeding can only take you so far. You need to keep yourself updated continuously even after any formal course. It’s thus important to know how to go about it or what to do.

The Self-Study MBA is designed keeping this concept in mind, while at the same time giving you all the benefits of an elite MBA program. It’s primary function is to encourage you to explore further, though the coverage of the course itself is already beyond that of the contents of any Ivy League MBA program.

Not an Online MBA or Distance MBA

Some of you may think that The Self-Study MBA is just another online MBA. The fact is it’s not an Online MBA or Distance MBA at all.

An Online MBA will supply you with some online resources, administer a test, and give you a certificate.

The Self-Study MBA is anything but that. It’s a full-fledged MBA program, which focus a lot on +Interactions and Classes, over and above the resources provided. There is an option to attend the Classroom sessions as well for students staying in the vicinity or proximity of the program. Though, we’d like to clarify that this does not give any added advantage to students who attend the Classroom sessions, nor are the students who do not attend the Classroom sessions are at a disadvantaged position. The course is designed for a global audience, which can be attended from the place of their residence. The online environment takes care of all Live Interactions and Classes.

It’s not a Distance MBA either. A Distance MBA will send you the resources and books, take a test, and give you a certificate. As we’ve already explained The Self-Study MBA is a full-fledged MBA program.

The Self-Study MBA vs. Ivy League MBA programs: Superior Course Structure

Before we even attempt to discuss this comparison and contrast, let’s try to understand - What’s an MBA?

Is it ‘Master of Business Administration’ or ‘Master of Bad Activities’?

Well, if you thought that’s a rather stupid question, think again. Some, if not most, MBA programs make you just that, a ‘Master of Bad Activities’. Hence, it’s important for you, from the options available to you, to choose the right MBA program for yourself. For indeed, most MBA programs teach many worthless, outdated, and even outright damaging concepts and practices.

For our part, we’ve eliminated all such unnecessary topics from The Self-Study MBA, while focussing on things that are of value and benefit to us.

It’s also important for us to highlight the course structure of a typical MBA program, and compare it with The Self-Study MBA?

A typical MBA course structure consists of Core, Electives, Capstone, and Common Specializations/Concentrations.

It’d be perhaps easier for us to assimilate the course contents if we present it in the form of a table.

MBA Course Structure
Core	Analytical	accounting, managerial economics, operations research, organizational behavior, economic policy, and business statistics/quantitative analysis
	Functional	financial management, human resource management, marketing management, and operations management
	Ethics	business ethics, corporate social responsibility, or corporate governance
Electives	Common broad electives include: entrepreneurship, international business, management information systems, business law, market research, organizational design, negotiations, international finance, project management, managing non-profits, and real estate investing. Additionally, many other elective options of a more specialized nature are offered by various institutions.
Capstone	Strategy	strategic management, business leadership
	Research	research methodology, dissertation/ major project
Common Specializations / Concentrations	accounting, entrepreneurship, finance (including corporate finance and investment management), international business, healthcare administration, human resources, management information systems, management science, marketing, operations management, organizational design, project management, real estate, risk management and strategy, among others.

We not only cover these topics, but also much more. Also, we include many Original Topics and Hybrid Topics, which you’ll not come across in even elite MBA programs.

Equally important is the fact, that we eliminate all wrong concepts.
