Have you thought about taking a class or two that you might need to get into an MBA program given you have an undergraduate degree in history? Like introduction to microeconomics, calculus for business, or statistics? Seeing if you enjoy this material might help you make decisions about future study - whether you go the MBA or MPA route.
My spouse is an operations manager for a large nonprofit, and has a master's degree, but it's not an MBA or MPA. His salary is pretty comfortable. He's also a military reservist working in intel and cybersecurity, which supplements his civilian career. He got his master's long before he worked in operations management, and it's in information systems management.
An MBA is a "Masters" (Master of Business Administration) or first level graduate degree and has a similar requirement in length to any other Masters degree.
Most Masters (including an MBA) are two year programs.
Traditionally, that was the case. Many, many schools are going to one year MBA programs.

This thread has been combined with another and my post isn't in the original thread I was responding to. The thread I was responding to, the OP was stating the MBA would take longer than a "Masters" which isn't normally the case. My point was that the OP should be able to finish an MBA in the same time (or less) than an MS or MA.

Ah, thanks for clarifying.
