Every newly established workplace or company is a business enterprise. Therefore, it is highly beneficial for the proper and successful operation of a company that everyone involved—from the owner to the managers, as well as employees working in positions requiring specialized knowledge in areas such as accounting, marketing, research, and production—be equipped with business administration knowledge.

The fact summarized above has significantly increased the desire of individuals with a bachelor’s degree in business administration to pursue graduate studies in business, in order to gain more advanced and specialized knowledge and skills beyond their undergraduate level and to use their expertise in a more versatile way. On the other hand, this same fact has also led to the creation of an educational path that allows professionals from other disciplines to pursue graduate education in business administration, thereby closing their knowledge gap in the field, improving their ability to interpret situations, make future-oriented predictions or forecasts, and, above all, develop competence in making rational business decisions.

This educational path, often including a brief “scientific preparatory” period to provide fundamental business knowledge, has ultimately become a globally popular educational option due to its intensity and relatively short duration.

Undoubtedly, business professionals who wish to advance in the field of science must also go through the graduate education phase. Consequently, in the 21st century, three main reasons have emerged for pursuing graduate studies in business administration. Accordingly, efforts to better adapt graduate education programs to these threefold reasons have led to the development of certain solutions.
