Most Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs are designed for this. They aim to provide the student with knowledge in a discipline area that was not already covered in the students Bachelor degree studies.
3 – The final type of programs are more research focused. The student researches a topic which extends their knowledge on a limited topic via the research, planning and writing of a major thesis.
