    Hello everyone,
    Being new to Degree Info I’ve had a look at the different forums and can’t seem to find very much information about MBA’s in reputation management, crisis management, e-reputation etc.
    These types of classes are not very common yet, but I can’t help to think some schools around the world must offer these services right ?

    I’ve just only started my research but thought it might be interestng to get some of your feedbacks as well.

    Thank you very much !

    Hey Verney, what is it you’re looking for exactly? How about an MBA in Communication and Public Relations? Wouldn’t it be the best solution if you wish to work in reputation management?

    This may be of interest:

    Northampton Business School- University of Northampton: M.B.L. in Applied Risk and Crisis Management (New for Jan. 2014) – two year programme will be £7,200. “‘Early bird’ registrations will attract a further significant discount (10%) in exchange for payment of the initial installment.”
    “In order to give you the widest range of benefit from your studies, we have achieved a unique outcome: the degree will be known as the Masters in Applied Risk & Crisis Management, giving you specialist accreditation – but the degree certificate will show ‘Masters in Business Leadership’, giving you broader use value including competing with MBA graduates.”

    I agree that you'll want to look more broadly at MBA concentrations in Public Relations, Marketing, or Digital Marketing. Depending on the caliber of MBA you're looking for, I believe Liberty University offers an MBA in Public Relations. LU runs on 8 week terms, their specialized MBA degrees are 45 credits, and the tuition should be pretty competitive. They are also RA and ACBSP accredited.

    An MBA in crisis/reputation management seems to specific and uncharted right now - if you want to go into that field instead of a business management field, I'd recommend looking into degrees strictly in communications/PR. I know George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management (full disclosure: I'm an alum) offers a Master's in Strategic Public Relations - I believe the degree can be customized to address your specific needs regarding crisis/reputation management.

    Only discovering this thread now, I am actually in need for some advices on good Masters in communication too and find all these information really valuable! I hope some more people will be likely to share their knowledge on the question

    Thank you very much,

    Hey guys,
    Thank you very much for the info.
    Ambravarieur, I believe as of today the most commun solution was/is to integrate a communication/pr cursus as you mentioned.
    However, before looking into "traditional" PR classes I was thinking more along the lines of a mix between offline & online reputation. We see more and more reputation agencies (especially in Europe and the USA) and I’m assuming there must be classes to attend about this recent up & coming sector. However when I look online it’s not that obvious :S

    Randell 1234, major56, CavTrooper, thank you very much for your help, I will look into it now and get back to you shortly!

    Thank you again!
