  1. In general, the Masters in Management is for recent college grads (people with 0 - 2 years of post-undergrad experience), vs. the MBA which is usually for people with 3- 5 years of experience. They are usually 1 year vs. 2 years. Think of it as "a way to get the equivalence of doing a business major, for people who did NOT major in business and now regret it." The positions you get after an MiM are far lower-level than the MBA jobs (which makes sense, since it's a younger / less-experienced crowd). So, e.g., if someone were to pursue management consulting, the post-MBA title would be "Associate" but the post-MiM title would probably be Analyst.....or some hybrid role that is a bit above pure entry-level but not MBA level. As Concordia mentioned, the career services offices should have plenty of stats about career placement. If you get the MiM, you may realize down the road that you don't even need an MBA (as many people who did business in undergrad eventually find out).
  2. The MBA/MA in education is popular for people who specifically want to enter the business of education: usually, this can take a few forms. Some of my Harvard Business School classmates who focused in education are now: Running "Innovation" for a major public school system Have a consulting firm that provides business consulting services to charter schools Creating "EdTech" startups (that's me!) The thing is, if you already have a strong background in education, you may not need the MA in education to achieve those goals. As far as I know, the two other people in my list above had done the MA in education, but I do believe they had worked extensively in education before b-school. It depends upon what you want to be doing. If you want to be teaching, the MBA probably isn't necessary, and if you want to open an education-related business, you might already have that experience elsewhere. Re; applying to the MA in education first and THEN trying to get into the MBA -- do check carefully with the individual schools you're targeting. As another poster mentioned, some programs require applying to BOTH simultaneously.
