The full name of MBA is Master of Business Administration (MBA), which is a professional master's degree that originated in Europe and America and specializes in training middle and senior professional managers.

As a professional master's degree, MBA is different from the general master's degree.

First of all, the training objectives are different: MBA is to train pragmatic, compound and applied senior management talents who can meet the high-level management needs of industrial and commercial and economic management departments, while other graduate students are to train senior scientific research and teaching talents with solid theoretical foundation and strong scientific research and teaching ability;

Secondly, the training objects are different. MBA students are generally cadres, business managers and technicians of state organs and institutions who have graduated from universities and have more than three years of practical experience. Other master students can recruit fresh graduates or on-the-job personnel;

Thirdly, the training methods are different. MBA education is essentially a kind of vocational training, with special emphasis on cultivating students' practical skills through business case analysis, practical observation, analysis and decision-making skills training on the basis of mastering modern management theories and methods, so that students can accept challenges in knowledge and skills, personality and psychology, goals and aspirations, and have more professional competitiveness, while other graduate students focus on theoretical study and academic research.

Although there are differences between MBA and other graduate students in the above aspects, they are basically the same in school enrollment and teaching management: they must take the national unified entrance examination and be admitted according to the admission line designated by the state; After obtaining a student status, teaching management is carried out according to the standard of ordinary graduate students; Do a dissertation and get a degree after the thesis defense.
