an MBA degree vs a MBA degree

Both "an MBA degree" and "a MBA degree" are commonly used, but the correct one is "an MBA degree." The choice of using "an" or "a" before an acronym or abbreviation depends on the pronunciation of the first letter. Since "MBA" is pronounced as "em-bee-ay," which starts with a vowel sound, we use "an" before it.
