How to Choose Between Full-Time and Part-Time MBA Programs
When deciding to return to school for an MBA, students have many options to consider. While deciding which school to attend is the main decision, choosing what kind of program to complete is also a significant hurdle. Not all schools provide full-time working students with the flexibility to schedule around their work week. Some programs only offer classes during the day, which can conflict with a working student’s schedule, while others offer classes at night, which may be easier for working students to complete.
The decision to complete the MBA in a part-time or full-time format can determine when and where you will attend business school, the overall cost of returning to school and the time it will take you to complete the program. It is important to decide what kind of schedule fits best with your personal obligations as well as your current work commitments. Deciding what kind of program to complete can determine your final decision on where to attend business school.
