The value of an MBA degree changes in different economic environments, and it soared after the 2020 pandemic. Susan Brown, Terry’s director of Executive, Professional and Online MBA programs, told Poets & Quants, “We all believe it is extremely valuable, and it’s probably more valuable post-COVID than it ever has been.” Students and employers value the well-rounded leadership training a Terry EMBA provides, she added. “We’re looking to make them better strategic thinkers. Better soft skills, better decision makers, better leaders across all of those areas — better servant leaders, better teachers to the next generation of leaders. That’s what we’re out to do.”

| With more people returning to the office, many employees seek a better balance between their work and home lives, Willson Distinguished Chair of Business Jessica Rodell
told Fast Company. Some employees report missing the flexible schedules that had allowed them to find meaning outside work. “I think, for a while before the pandemic, we pushed everyone to find meaningful work and connect yourself to your work: ‘Your work is a calling.’” After the pandemic, Rodell said, more employees realized, “‘Wait, my job might just be a job. I get meaning in life in these other ways.’ People are grappling with how to balance that now that they’ve had that realization.”
