If you’re currently working, you may wonder how you can manage going back to school on top of your workload and how you’re going to pay for it. Most MBA programs have a part-time option to allow working professionals to also attend school. Some businesses will even help pay for an employee's education if that education will apply to the work at their current company and other options exist.

Will Your Employer Pay for an MBA Degree?

Some employers will pay for part or all of an MBA program if it will help the business and there are positions that a business would hire with an MBA. Talk to your Human Resources department to see if there’s a tuition reimbursement policy, and if so, what’s necessary to meet the requirements. Some businesses may have conditions such as requiring an employee to stay at the company for a certain period of time after completing the MBA, paying back the company if the employee decides not to continue, what will and won’t be covered such as books, and other policies.

If your company doesn’t have a tuition reimbursement policy, you can develop a case to try to convince them that it’d be worth their investment, similar to what you might do when asking for a raise. Show them your value, what you’ve accomplished and how it has affected the company’s bottom line, how you plan to fit the program into your current schedule and what you can do for the business with an MBA.
