Part-time MBA programs offer sound alternatives to full-time options in terms of time and tuition. Usually lasting two to three years, part-time MBA programs allow students to keep their jobs while attending classes in the evenings or on weekends. This schedule allows students to minimize debt by maintaining their income and/or obtaining tuition reimbursements from their employer with the added benefit of immediately applying classroom lessons to their own careers.
Applicants with extensive work experience (a minimum of five years) and company sponsorship may find an Executive MBA program to be the best fit. These 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.
For those unable to attend a full-time MBA program, but seeking new skills to push their careers forward, be sure to take a look at the part-time and EMBA program deadlines below and to check out the schools’ websites for further details.
