However, I think he is talking about an executive MBA program, which is different from a part-time MBA program. Here's a comparison: EMBA 1. You get an EMBA degree instead of MBA 2. Your peers are mostly accomplished individuals with 10+ years of experience, some of which are C-level executives. 3. Think of it as an exclusive club where people there network not for the sake of finding jobs, but for the sake of forging partnerships and making deals instead. PT MBA 1. You get an MBA degree just like FT MBA 2. The average age of the class is only 2-3 years older than full time. Why? Because ibankers, consultants, traditional feeders of FT MBAs, typically apply to full time MBA programs after 2-3 years working. This contributes to why the average age for FT MBAs are just slightly younger than PT MBAs, in which the class makeup consists of people from industry where promotion to leadership roles can take longer. In any case, just because PT MBA students are "slightly" older, it doesn't mean that you have a leg up in terms of classroom experience and recruiting resources. Stern's part time MBA ranking is consistently top 1-2 compared to OTHER PART TIME PROGRAMS, while Stern's full time MBA ranking is just around the cut of top 10 FULL TIME PROGRAMS. Keep in mind that top schools such as Harvard, Standford, Wharton, Columbia, etc do not have part time programs (yes, they have EMBAs). Regardless though, comparing part time and full time rankings is like comparing apples to oranges. I have never seen any publication ranking full time and part time together. It just doesn't make sense. Reasons people go for part time MBAs: 1. Your company will sponsor you and you plan on coming back to the same company 2. You plan on staying in the same function, if not, same industry post-MBA 3. You do not want to quit your job for career/financial reasons. Since eileen mentioned that she plans to quit her job, come to the US (assuming no work visa), and potentially get into finance with a non-finance background. I really don't think a part time MBA, especially one that does not have a strong brand name will help her at all. As a matter of fact, I think given her financial situation I think pursuing that path can only hurt her more and make her regret the experience. Yes, I totally agree that the professors, courses, classrooms are all shared among FT, PT and EMBA students. In that dimension, the quality is the same, if not, insignificanlly different. BUT, the networking, peer learning experience, and post MBA career prospects are far more important in evaluating the returns of an MBA investment(A HUGE ONE). My suggestion to eileen is to boost your TOEFL to 100+. Really, you'd be surprised on how much of a difference a 100+ TOEFL can do for someone who is initially only targetting top 50 PT MBA programs. Suddenly, even top 30 FT programs might be within your reach. Utimately, I think people here can provide more detailed suggestions if you can elaborate more about your background, why MBA and what your goals are. --
