First of all congrats on your offer! True, in the U.S. or any other countries, part-time does not have the prestige of a full time MBA program. The degree and diploma recieved is exactly the same. However, schools would typically schedule events such as recruiting, speakers, conferences, etc. disregarding the part-time students' schedules.I have friends who went to Stern part time and they complain that they feel like 2nd class citizens. Additionaly, one of the biggest benefits that you get from an MBA experience is the networking component. Part-time students have full time jobs and busy schedules. Aside from classes and a few team projects, you won't be seeing them most of the time. There won't be much bonding since everyone is just in a rush to leave after classes (work, family reasons - PT students older) Furthermore, your peer learning experience will be compromised due to the high acceptance rate of the incoming class. Although, I've had very smart and competent ex-coworkers at Goldman who went for part-time(Stern) as well, don't expect everyone to be a rock star in class. The acceptance rate for even the top PT programs are around 50%. I just want to make sure you are aware of that. Finally, make sure you are elgible for employment even if you want to 打工 in the U.S. I used to be on F1, and F1 students are not allowed to work unless the project itself is academically related (not as common as you think). If you plan on 非法打工. Keep in mind that the political climate in the U.S. right now is very sensitive regarding illegal immigrants stealing American jobs. Sorry, I don't mean to overwhelm you with too much discouragement. But I just wanted to make sure your expectations are realistic. Especially since you mentioned that 你有经济压力. Getting into debt and unable to switch into finance, an industry that values pedigree, after graduation can suck a lot. My humble opinions... ※ 引述《eileen0719 (No pain, no pay.)》之铭言： : 我已经申请上UT-Dallas 2011 summer Professional MBA (part-time) : 有丢的学校名单是: UIC, Binghamton, Drexel, UTD, Denver(已经收到拒绝信) : 目前只有收到UTD的录取信 : 我知道很少UTD的留学生会丢夏季班，不过去年申请的时候希望把GMAT冲高一点再丢 : 加上自己希望赶快念完赶快回台湾工作，所以就改丢夏季班。 : 本来就很喜欢UTD学校的课程，在写essay的时候就只有这间让我觉得最有特色 : (我想主修finance，学校有MSF系所，finance共有四个concentration) : 学校网站上的课程也很丰富，US NEWS 的part-time MBA排名也有#41 : 本身有经济压力，所以UTD当地便宜的生活费也让我很心动 : --------以下是顾忌的点----------- : 只是现在爸妈听到那是晚上上课，感觉不太好 ~"~ 因为台湾人对於夜间班的印象都不好 : 我是觉得课程丰富+师资很不错(跟日间班Cohort的师资是一样的) : 晚上上课也没关系啦，而且有机会可以和当地正在工作的老外一起分组讨论 : 白天可以找打工机会或是参加教会活动，or去旁听其他系的课 : 不过现在听到UTD的PMBA华人非常多，据说每届毕业的台湾人有70几个 : 大陆人有300个 : 这个会不会有洗学历的嫌疑? @_@ : 凡事一体两面，我本来就规划要回台湾工作，所以华人多也是有优点 : 以後找工作很容易可以遇到学长姐 : 只是我不清楚业界对於part-time MBA的观感是如何? : (据说Cohort MBA和Professional MBA的毕业证书是一样的， : 毕业证书上也不会写你的Major) : 如果有UTD的学长姐也请帮忙说明一下目前的工作状况，谢谢!! : FYI, 目前规划是毕业後从事金融业或是一般业界的业务 : (之前有工作一年的国外业务经验) --
