If time and tuition have deterred you from the commitment to a full-time MBA program, you may want to consider a part-time MBA program. Part-time MBA programs usually last two to three years and allow students to keep their jobs while attending classes in the evenings or on weekends. Through these programs, students can immediately apply classroom lessons to their own careers and minimize debt by maintaining their income and/or obtaining tuition reimbursements from their employer.
Applicants with extensive work experience (a minimum of five years) and company sponsorship may find an Executive MBA program to be the best fit for their situation. The programs provide a solid framework in general management and prepare candidates for long-term senior level growth. EMBA classes usually take place on weekends, though some programs may require students to take 1-2 weeks of time off from work each year to attend intensive class sessions.
If you feel you need more skills to progress in your career but aren’t able to attend a full-time MBA program, be sure take a look at the part-time and EMBA program deadlines below and to check out the schools’ websites for further details.
