Especially if you’re working on an oil rig off the coast of Abu Dhabi. This was the case for Ehimare Josiah, an assistant driller based in the United Arab Emirates, who spends alternate fortnights drilling into the ocean on board a rig. Now working towards an online MBA, he is one of many studying online in far-flung corners of the world. “I decided to develop myself in my area of specialisation to aid my fast progression,” Josiah says, “I needed an academic opportunity to help formalise my years of technical experience into a managerial role for operations.” Having applied to Aberdeen Business School (ABS) at Robert Gordon University, Josiah is an MBA oil and management student, studying online while offshore on rig Marawwah. But Debi Stephens’ reason for studying online is so she doesn’t have to leave her seven children at home. Stephens is a student at Robert J. Trulaske Sr College of Business at the University of Missouri on the executive MBA, three-quarters of which is studied online.
