By DeVry University

August 31, 2022

7 min read

If you’ve been thinking about how an MBA can help you with your veteran-owned business, know that the skills you’ve developed during your time in service coupled with DeVry’s leadership-focused MBA program may help you complement your entrepreneurship.


An MBA is more than just a graduate degree, it’s a program that can help you develop important insights, expand and grow your people management and communication skills and help you get comfortable with the technology and analytics tools of the modern workplace.

Here is what we’ll cover in the following sections:
 

Benefits of Earning an MBA as a Veteran

When it comes to earning an MBA as a veteran, many of the organizational, leadership and people management skills might already be second nature. Still, earning your MBA can be helpful while you’re building your veteran-owned business, for these reasons:

  • Connections and networking: Earning an MBA can help you connect with your professors, who are likely experienced in the field, and your peers who may become important future contacts. Helping each other while you’re in the early stages can be another advantage of earning an MBA when building a veteran-owned business.

  • Business insight: There’s a lot that goes into starting a new venture. Earning an MBA can help you gain a better understanding of how to structure, run and grow your business within the market of your choice, as well as how to evaluate your competition and make your business stand out.

  • Higher-level credential: It never hurts to pursue higher education. An MBA can help demonstrate to future investors that you’ve taken the time to study and develop the insight and skills that can help set you up for success when it’s time to launch your business. 

What Entrepreneurship Skills are Covered in an MBA Program?

Because MBAs are designed to help you prepare to pursue higher-level or management roles after graduation, entrepreneurs often find these same skills essential when it comes to building their own businesses. Therefore, an MBA from DeVry will naturally feature the chance to develop many entrepreneurial skills, including:

  • Management theory: Gain insight into company-wide functions that are relevant to today’s business world and global economy.

  • Collaboration: Explore how to work within a team environment to overcome obstacles.

  • Problem-solving: Learn to read data and practice how to use it. You’ll also learn management principals to build creative solutions.

  • Technology: Use analytics tools and applications to address problems and the needs of your customers and stakeholders.
