It is being for correct? So no cost to you. Get an online MBA from anywhere.

What field? Are you in marketing, sales, operations, etc.?
Find a specific program for that. MBAs are a dime a dozen and most part-time (non-executive) programs and cohorts aren’t great.
(Unless you go to a top program like Wharton…but thats a whole different story…)

Honestly, I always think it's weird when people have MBAs in industries that clearly don't need MBAs, almost like they wanted to go private/corporate but didn't quite make the jump. I work in a fed agency where it's hard to get a job and most people have some version of an IR master's, MPA/MPP, MPH, or law degree.
My boss doesn’t have a graduate degree, but lots of work experience and connections. Others in C level have MBAs. Some others in mid level have graduate degrees specific to their job - HR, Accounting, Engineering.

If it's fully funded and you think you should get a grad degree but it doesn't matter what kind, you may as well get something interesting to you.
Or use it to prep for a career shift later of that's an option.

I am in my early 40s, mid level manager with one direct report. My employer matches tuition for graduate programs. I have been advised by others outside my industry to get an MBA for versatility; I'm also considering industry-specific degrees. No degree is required by my employer and my supervisor, who is retiring in a few years (which is why I feel I should do this before she does) only has work experience and no graduate degree.
Any insight or advice?
