Use this interactive demo to learn how to display your MBA credential on your LinkedIn profile.

Quick summary

Adding MBA to your LinkedIn name involves updating your profile name and adding your degree to the Education section. This two-step process ensures your Master of Business Administration credential is visible to recruiters and connections.


Steps

  1. Go to your LinkedIn profile page.
  2. Scroll down to the Education section and click the '+' icon to add a new entry.
  3. Enter your school name and select 'Master of Business Administration' from the degree dropdown menu.
  4. Fill in other required details for the education entry.
  5. Once completed, click 'Save' to store your education entry.
  6. Click the 'pencil' icon below your banner to open your profile name editor.
  7. Add 'MBA' at the end of your surname and click 'Save' to apply the changes.

📌 Why this matters

Displaying your MBA credential directly on your LinkedIn name and Education section maximizes your professional visibility to recruiters and hiring managers who search for graduate-level talent. LinkedIn profile optimization, including accurate degree listings under the Education section, significantly improves searchability in recruiter filters. Adding 'MBA' after your name creates an immediate, scannable signal of your advanced business education. This is one of the simplest yet highest-impact profile updates a business school graduate can make.
