Which do you think would be more lucrative in the long run? I am in computer engineering, and I would like to do my own startup, but I am exploring other options as well.

It's hard to really make a call on a questions as broad as that. There are a lot of MBA programs out there. I'm sure some are pretty good, others not so much. I have no idea what "natural science management" is.

On top of that, with any business-oriented education, the program itself will only count for so much with respect to how "lucrative" it is. What matters is what you do with it.
 

What is the difference between an MBA and Natural Science Management?

An MBA (Master of Business Administration) is a graduate degree that focuses on business and management principles, while Natural Science Management is a specialized field that combines scientific knowledge with management skills to oversee research and development projects.

Which degree is better for a career in business?

It depends on your career goals and personal interests. An MBA may be more suitable for those interested in traditional business roles such as consulting, finance, or marketing. Natural Science Management may be better for those interested in managing projects and teams in scientific fields such as biotechnology or pharmaceuticals.

Can an MBA and Natural Science Management degree be combined?

Yes, some universities offer joint programs that combine an MBA with a concentration in natural sciences, allowing students to gain a solid foundation in both business and science management.

Which degree has better job prospects?

Both degrees can lead to successful careers. An MBA may have more diverse job opportunities and higher salary potential in business-related fields, while Natural Science Management may have more specialized job opportunities in scientific industries.

Do I need a science background to pursue Natural Science Management?

While a science background can be helpful, it is not always necessary. Some programs may require a certain level of science courses, but others may focus more on the management aspect and provide necessary scientific knowledge through coursework or on-the-job training.
