An extreme lack of resources coupled with a poor economic situation has made The Gambia a poor choice for those seeking a degree in higher education. Though the number of educated Gambians is on the rise, it is still far lower than the international average.

A Master of Business Administration is a degree program that may help students to improve and diversify their skill set. Many schools offer MBA programs either online or part-time, so that students who are busy with careers and families can further their education in a convenient manner.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
