Abstract
Making a commitment to graduate study can be daunting. Many prospective students start out with some qualms about whether they should invest in another one to three years of education. Will the benefit of a master’s degree be worth the cost, considering the sacrifice a student makes in both time and money? This is a legitimate question, and if you are thinking about pursuing graduate study, you can help maximize your return on that investment by clearly identifying your goals and expectations and choosing the program that will best help you meet them. Motivations for entering graduate programs abound, and there is no single best reason to enroll. Indeed, in a 2017 management education segmentation study, the Graduate Management Admission Council identified seven distinct master’s candidate segments, with descriptive titles ranging from “Respect Seekers” to “Impactful Innovators." So, what can you accomplish with the right master’s degree?
