- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- In todays video we are talking about if getting a MBA is a better path than a project management certification. I received my MBA in 2011 and my PMP years later in 2018 and have been able to use both in my current role in corporate America. I walk you through in this video the pros and cons of both pathways and unique differences that I think are important. Let me know if you have any questions about either pathway and I really hope you enjoy todays video! Have a good night!

The ROI on a PMP is phenomenal. Training is key to moving through the career path for project management and so is growing your EQ. There are great career paths with high salaries available for the right people and it is very open to women due to their already naturally high EQ.
I just passed my CAPM exam last week! I plan to start my MBA this spring. Looking forward to some new opportunities!
That is awesome! Congratulations!
How was the capm? I plan on getting it soon
@@zakiyah8536 It wasn't too bad, but you must study the questions. If you study the questions you should not have any issues. I used a app to practice called CAPM prep
@@KristynAlexis Thank you ⭐
I just passed the CAPM exam and I will be graduating with an MBA in June of next year. I also plan to sit for the CSCP early next year.aybe you can discuss the CSCP in your next video.
I started putting M.B.A. at the end of my name in emails a few years ago. A lot of my colleagues didn't know I had one because my position didn't require me to have one. So I needed it to be known. Lol
Congratulations Donna. MBA can't hurt.
@@bobsmith2943 you're absolutely right! And thank you!!
lol let it be known girl you earned it!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Proud of you for sharing what worked for you & I’m sure there’s alot of people on similar paths can appreciate your mentorship 💖
⭐⭐😀⭐⭐ Great video Kristyn. You provided some great info. I'm saving so I can start my MBA. I think the mentorship Mondays is going to be a very good series. Can't wait until next Monday. #KristynGivesBack #KSTARS #MBA #PMP #MentorshipMondays
This was a really great & informative video! You have inspired me over the last few months to look deeper into the PMP Certification which led me to the CAPMP Certification! I’m very motivated each time I watch your career related videos!!
You’re Awesome!! ⭐️💜⭐️💜
This was awesome, great breakdown! K💫, keep them coming! We love these! So informative 👏 👌
This is a great topic. There are a lot of students that have no idea what either track brings to the table
Success looks like you KA! Good advice for the ones that are coming up! 😘
Can you show us more of an actual day in PM? Like, maybe make up a project, or use a past project, and take us through your thought process? I really miss these mentorship mondays, I know they arent the most popular, but I feel like if you tweak them, they can really take off! As you can see, tons of women including myself are inspired to go back, or now are aware of PMP certification being a thing, and now its a #wakandatakeover in the PM and MBA world!
Beautiful! thank you for sharing this! keep shining love these videos, its definitely helping me in my research phase of what kind of certification i should get to elevate myself in the architecture and interior design world.
Great Mentorship Monday Kristyn. Obtaining my MBA is one of the best decisions I made for my career. I thought about my PMP but decided to wait and lately been obtaining Agile certifications since our company is moving in that direction. Both the degree and cert are good to have.❤🌟
Excellent video Krystin! Thank you! This was helpful!
YES YES YES! Thank you for uploading this video 😩🙌🏾
Congratulations Krystin. Very smart choice to have done both!
This is extremely good info thanks for sharing. I have been wanting to do project work for a while but only correlated project managing with IT, healthcare or engineering but this video opened my eyes to different possibilities for me to obtain this to achieve my goals in other ways/areas.
So helpful to have your personal story around certification and degrees. Too many RUclipsrs just read out of the textbook.
Giiiirrrrlllll, I missed ALL of these useful videos!!! 😩 ✨
Thank you for sharing. I am currently studying for my PMP.
Congrat's again hard work reward you. stay safe god bless keep up the good work Ms K Star
I love this series kristyn! It's so informative for confused young women like me LOL ⭐⭐🥰🥰
This video was so good! Thank you for sharing this
Very helpful. Just what I needed.
Hi Kristyn! This video was very informative!! ⭐⭐❤
Great video beautiful, loved your input in both 🙌🏾
Excellent video, clear and straight to the point..loved it 👍🏾
Thank you 🙏🏾 that makes me happy. Appreciate the feedback.
Perfect timing 👋🏽❤️⭐️
as someone starting out my career in corporate america, this was a really helpful video! thank you :)
Hey K 💫💫💫💫💫💫🌟⭐🌟⭐⭐💜💜💜😘!! It's so informative and I love it beautiful ❤!
You are a gem. Thank you so much for sharing.
I receive my MBA and PMP as well. I am Civil Engineer and I've been managing projects in different sectors and for that reason I decided to certify my skills with the PMP. In the other hand the MBA as you said is an opportunity to diversify and complement your career, may be to be a high level executive or even an entrepeneur in your own business. I definitely recommend the both if you have the opportunity. Nice videos Krystin! I just subscribed to your channel.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Hey I'm final year civil engineering student and wanna be a project manager. Can you please guide what should i do? Should i go for MBA or MS or MSc? Like which course i should choose to be a project manager in civil engineering field
Love that look on you KA!✌🏾💜
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very well explained Thank you! A good video idea would be MBA fast track, test or courses that could help get this degree the quickest.
I’m still trying to decide if I want to go the CAPM route or PMP. I don’t know how I missed this video when you uploaded!
Im in the same boat! my plan is to do CAPM on my own then when I get into a position during the hiring and negotiation process to have them guarantee me they fund my certification for full PMP. :) a lot of people I know done it this way where the company pays the rest of it
There are some project managers that can make up to seven figures, especially when you manage high profile projects in the construction and aerospace industries and certain niche high income critical industries.
Hi Beautiful Kristyn love this Fascinating Quarantine home schooling Vlog this was so interesting and informative whomsoever were paying attention lol I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to inform us in Projext Management absolutely appreciative for everything you have shared and enjoyed the channel and have a great rest of your day Beautiful 😍 and much love ❤ and have a wonderful day sweetie ❤ and be sure and Blessings and keep up the great work 😊 and God Bless and stay safe my dear ❤ 🤩🥰🌷💞🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸❤💖
I'm so glad I saw this. I got my Undegrad in Business Administration and my Masters in Management. I'm looking into my PMP currently
Very informative!! ✨💫🌟
Can you please talk about your experience in logistics and supply chain experience? I love these! They are so informative.
Sure ♥️
This helped me a lot!
Thanks for the feedback!! I have my MBA and considering going for my Doctorate in Business Administration.
Don’t get a PhD in business it adds no value unfortunately. It would be better to use your current education to gain more real world experience.
I was thinking about getting both thank you!
This was an awesome video. Looking forward to seeing more content on this topic. Have you considered Agile or Six Sigma certifications?
Thank you Shameka and no I haven't but mainly because for my current role it wouldn't provide much value and I have a lot on my plate to take on another certification at this time. Appreciate you chiming in and hope you have a great evening!
Thank you for sharing!
Got my Bachelors degree this year. Just applied for my PMP certification. With this information I will definitely think about getting my MBA. Thank you
⭐⭐⭐ Helpful. Thank you so much.
Great information🤩🌟💫⭐️
Thanks for sharing! 🌟
I got my bachelors in Project Management and I will now get my MBA
Thanks for the info 🙏
So helpful!
Go green! I’m interested in project management
I have an MBA and work as a project manager now and about to start the journey of the certification.
Agree that the MBA gives you more s transferability. I’ve done a few different things under my MBA.
Awesome advise.
GORGEOUS ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It’s super frustrating how there aren’t any Supply Chain Project Manager videos 😩 then again it’s such a specialized field idk what I was expecting. I have my MBA in Business Analytics, Supply Chain Management & Information Systems. I’m hoping to get my PMP if I get this SCPM position. Interview is on Monday 😫
@Rachel Bruce for my particular program, we had to code. I’ve never coded before so that was super challenging for me and extremely time consuming. I’d say if you already have your heart set on a Master’s in BA, there’s no need for a cert but learning R and/or Python would help you out a great deal.
Yes I agree! I have been in Project Management for 10 years and decided to earn my MBA in project management vs the stress associated with preparing for the PMP and the recerts required every 5 years.
Thank you! Where did you get your mba in project management ?
I love the video it really inspired me to go back. I recently graduated but I’m thinking should I really go back for my Masters in public administration. Do you think it’s worth it?
Yes very much so but mainly if you go to a school that has a good track record of placement and thank you I am glad you liked the video.
Definitely wish I would've seen this video a few years back. 28 years old and just got my MBA in Healthcare Administration in the summer of 2020. Now, trying to figure out if I want to get PMP cert or just CBAP to help me be able to be placed in various industries. My husband has been a PM for almost 2 years and is explaining the many advantages. Any advice on what would be the better route between the 2 certifications since I know Business Analysts work alongside PM's? Anyone feel free to respond.
Oh wow!! I want to pursue my MBA in Healthcare Administration as well. Please can you tell me one of the difficulties you encountered during taking the program? Thank you
Nice knowledgeable talk! - )
Hey Kristen! I agree with you! The degrees and certifications combined make you a powerhouse!
applying to go back to school FT for a MBA in the fall...time for new opportunities
What online MBA school do you recommend?
Just finished my Master’s degree in project management a few months ago. I also, have a few years of experience as a residential designer; but I would like to explore others career in the construction field. Which are the best entry level positions for project manager?
And Do you recommend the CAMP certification?
Thanks!
Would you reconsider doing the masters in project management or would you change the field you did your masters. if you could what masters degree would you get?
I kinda wish I would’ve watched this before starting my program lol. I got to University of Alabama at Birmingham. I’m a first semester MBA student. I didn’t even research certifications. I just wanted to pursue a master’s degree that would benefit me in my healthcare career but also give me enough flexibility that if I wanted to change industries I could. I may get my certification as well. I’m not sure yet but this video was definitely helpful.
How do you like the MBA program at UAB? I got my bachelors from UAHuntsville but I’m really considering getting my MBA from UAB.
Hey Tanisha congrats. Both MBA and PMP help in healthcare especially if you work in clinical research!
Do u still have finance Mondays. This was really beneficial
Hi Kristyn....I a working professional who happen to be working as scrum master and looking forward to be project manager. I intend to do my MBA coz of all the reasons of opportunities u told (vch i agree) so wanted to get suggestion whether one year MBA or two year MBA is better for working people . Do one year MBA valuable enough to leave once job ?
I literally just found your channel after realizing I would like to get into the PM field after realizing it's what I currently do for a living. I am finishing up my MBA and want to immediately begin working on my project management certification. I found that Google offers a project management certification course.
Would you recommend this course training? Does it matter where I get the certification from? How would I be able to know if my current role qualifies as hours in the field or not? Thank you so much for your advice! It's not everyday that I see fellow black women speaking from a place of expertise.
Hello and thank you for the message! I am not familiar with Googles course but I would say be sure you get your certification from an accredited program. I decided to go with PMI.org because its broadly recognized (even internationally) I would see if PMI.org recognizes the course that Google offers and I would look into taking the exam with them if you can.
@@KristynAlexis Thank you so much for your advice!
You’re welcome and good luck ❤️
I feel like your channel was just at 100k a few weeks ago. Am I recalling correctly?! Anyway... congrats on the RUclips success. I’ve been around a while and appreciate the content. ⭐️
Did your company pay for you to do the PM certification or did you do it on your own and then request a salary increase?
Yess....🌟🌟🌟❤
I’m looking for a career change and was thinking of getting my MBA but I’m worried about the internship situation. I can’t afford to work unpaid or quit my job
perhaps look to move to a different location where its valued more! i feel your pain!
I start my MBA in January. And my brother wants me to get my PMP certification. But I don't have project management experience so how can I obtain it
Start by getting project work in anyway you can at your current job.
CAPM
Hello! I am an Architect and I am currently studying a Master in Real Estate Development, would you recommend to study a master in project management a couple or a few years later to keep my career moving? Would a Master in Project Management be a waste of time and money or would i benefit from it? Or do you recommend a MBA instead?
I have 10 years of experience and right now I am in business intelligence.
So what should I do MBA or PMP
I know there is a like button but there should have been a love button for this content. I loved it. It was most definitely informative so thank you so very much. I graduated about 3years ago with a Bsc in Dental Hygiene Dental Therapy and I've always wanted change careers to do my masters to be more involved in corporate. . But I didn't want to get involved just for the sake of just having an Master. I researched and thought about it and I wanted to do my masters in either health promotion or health administration this year. . However they are both off cycle programmes which runs every other year. Bomber. So in the interim I wanted to the Pmp but I was told you have to have experience in planning projects etc. So I decided to do a Diploma in Project management to make myself my marketable for jobs in the future and even when the schools are selecting candidates for the master programmes. What do you think? Your advice or opinion. would be appreciated. ❤️❤️
The comment I was looking for ! . I'm also an Electrical and Instruments Engineer . Decided to first have Diploma in PM to attract jobs then have experience and get a PMP later
Yes!!!
Hi Kristyn I am civil engineer also certified PMP, was having many questions about pmp and MBA you cleared my mind so wanna start MBA online which university or online school you will recommend
Kristyn, with a fee of course, are you willing to do private coaching? I just need some guidance on careers/ getting into companies and making myself more marketable etc. I got my MBA (General) from Walden University this past April, but I have not been able to utilize the degree. Thanks!
Sure you can email me at the email in my description box ❤️

Thanks a lot
Hi, Im a Mechanical engineer currently working as a project sales engineer in a fire fighting company. Please let me know whether PMP or MBA will be the right choice for my career?
I have a B.S in psychology would they count that as a 4 year degree towards my PMP certification or do they only recognize specific degrees related to Project management careers like B.A's in Project Management, Business, Management etc. I would rather I only have to do the 4500 hours directing projects and 35 hours of education to become certified. I want to get my MBA afterwards since it will look better on my college application.
Just needs to be a Bachlors doesn’t matter what it’s in.
I’m studying for my PMP as well. Do you have any recommendations on finding a study partners?
I found a few people at work who were interested in doing it with me. I would also look at the local chapters to see if they have any recommendations as I am sure there are a lot of opportunities to connect with others who are on the same pathway. Good luck with the exam!
⭐️🌟Happy Monday. Need help I have a BA Business with a concentration Market and Sales and Masters in Management and Leadership but I can’t get hire or even promoted at my job at a call center and it’s stressing me out. I’m on Indeed, LinkedIn, and sometimes I feel a little defeated.

Hey Shamese, I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been stressed out. Does the school where you got your Masters have a career services office? If so I would set an appointment with them to review your resume and provide placement services. You can also email me if you want a non-biased opinion at contactkristynalexis@gmail.com. Maybe I can add some ideas as well.
Great 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Look thin!! Great direction and tips
Thank you
⭐️⭐️Hey Kristyn! Where did you get your PMP from? I have seen the PMI institute but was unsure if that’s the correct one because I have seen other websites.
Yes PMI.org
@@KristynAlexis ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Thank you so much!!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
what schools in UK offer mba in project management?
I passed my pmp Dec 2020, this past Friday I got a job offer for $40k more than what I am currently making!!🙌🏿🙌🏿 over 120K. it’s a PM role at a different company. My cert was the reason the company recruited me, also I killed my three interviews. My goal is to get my MBA to move into corporate positions like CIO as my career progresses.
That’s awesome!!! Congratulations 🎉
@@KristynAlexis Thank you!
What MBA program are you willing to specialise in or just a general MBA . And do you mind sharing where you specialise in . What did you study
Congratulations dear🎉
you are now my girl :)
⭐️⭐️❤️❤️
Where did you get your PMP certificate?
Project management institute
Hiiii I just completed my masters in public administration and now wants to pursue mba project management can u tell me Ms project management is better or mba project management
In the engineering world the PMP is not necessarily as sought after as people think. Usually the PMP needs to be accompanied by a PE (which is more valuable 10 fold) to be of any significance. When I’m hiring and see only PMP its not a discriminating factor. Additionally on any business card I do not recommend including any degree such at MBA or PHD unless pursuing a position in academia. There a fantastic project managers without certifications, and there are terrible project managers with PMP, MBA, PHD and a host of other ego boosting certifications.
As a younger professional obtaining the advanced degree and any certification isn’t a bad idea. I would just suggest it is not the highlight of your resume, business card, or even your elevator speech/introduction. Your accomplishments or appetite for experience should be what you highlight. I’ve hired hundreds of people and its only my professional opinion, take what you can use and leave the rest.
To each their own. I have learned of hiring managers who look for the letters such as PMP, MBA, etc. I do agree there are awesome PM’s who do not have the certification, but then again, everyone is different. I have obtained an MBA in Project Management and have yet to hear back from companies for a PM role. I am now going for my PMP to see if I can leverage more opportunities. I also see you have the state of Texas as your display pic. I’m originally from Houston and have worked both in Houston and Austin. Unfortunately, the market there did not work out for me, so I ended up leaving the state as the result. I do thank you for sharing your input, at least it gives me an idea of what some hiring managers have in mind.
Thanks for chiming in Bob. I would agree but I also think that it depends on the company. Some companies require the certification and do not hire PMs without it and some do not value it. (If I am not mistaken I believe I touched on my perspective on this a little bit in the video.) At my company which is engineering focused we do not have a ton of PMs but if you do not have your certification you most likely will not be considered to compete for a PM role. They also often outsource many PM roles to consultants who are certified PMPs. I also see a lot of PMs coming from consulting firms that don't do project management for us but are all certified (BCG is one.) I guess my point is I think it depends on what each organization values and focuses on. I do also agree that a certification doesn't guarantee skillset but I do think that it does offer benefits to someone who knows how to sell it on their resume and for me increased my confidence level tremendously. Thanks again for chiming in and joining the discussion! It's good to have various perspectives for those who are debating how to proceed with their careers.

I'm in my senior year of undergrad majoring in Marketing with a Concentration in Supply Chain. I want to pursue an MBA program after graduation, but I'm not sure if it should be in a specific area or a general MBA. Also, what are some tips for preparing for the GMAT exam?
I did Kaplan but I don’t think it’s necessary. I would for sure make sure you do a few practice tests to ensure you’re ready. That exam is no joke lol.
Hie , I'm just checking up on your decision . Did you later pursue a general MBA or
Do you think it’s better to do a part time or full time MBA?
Full time from a ranked school ❤️
KristynAlexis Thank you! That makes sense. A full time program would be an adjustment now that I have been working full time for four years. The main concern would be the lost income (vs. part time I could keep my main job), but I would likely recoup that with a salary increase after graduating.
I appreciated your explanation of the MBA vs. PMP in this video as well. 😊
I have had my PMP forever and still have not found a job in Houston..anybody got any tip?? Pls kindly share
Hi, what industry are you targeting?
I’m from Houston and unfortunately the market there didn’t work out for me.
Hi. Have you tried an agency? Also, Linkdin, I’m in the PM field and I’m still getting hit up.
@@shamekadunbar thanks for responding . am currently in the healthcare field informatics and looking for job in that area ..i even joined the PMI meetings but nothing ..had to.leave after a while ...
@@miodyssey thanks for responding ...can you give me the name of any agency. Am on LinkedIn too..thanks so much
e b First make sure to check your settings to verify it shows your open to offers. A friend of mine wasn't hearing anything either until I told her to check, and she didn't. Check for local temp agencies in your area. I know agency's like Chronos Global, New Age Systems, Addeco, are some that source jobs globally. But it also depends on what industry your looking for. But if you're just starting out, take something that helps you get your foot in the door. It may not be what you're looking for at the moment, but ultimately be a hidden diamond! I hope this helps. ❤️
