The Best Washington DC Part-Time MBA Programs
It’s common knowledge that professionals with MBA’s have higher average salaries after graduation, greater networking potential and a number of other advantages. A part-time MBA is a great way to earn these advantages at your own pace while minimizing student load debt and maintaining career momentum. If you’re thinking of getting your MBA, but can’t imagine the time commitment of a full-time graduate program, there are a host of part-time programs that can accommodate a busy schedule.
Venture Capital Learning for Georgetown McDonough MBAs
Breaking into a career in venture capital, even with an MBA, isn’t necessarily easy. It’s something that many MBAs are interested in achieving, but that few MBAs have the help to make possible. And that’s why the MBA Venture Fellows Program at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business is so interesting.
The program is a collaboration between the MBA program and the Georgetown Entrepreneurship Initiative, and it provides full-time students interested in a career in venture capital with a year-long position at a local VC firm. It replaces the summer internship component for a typical MBA to focus solely on experience within venture capital.
The program begins early in the spring semester when students start applying for positions and interviewing with VC firms. If selected, the MBA works ten hours a week throughout the semester, and then the apprenticeship becomes a full-time internship over the summer before returning to shorter hours again in the fall. It officially concludes in December, after which time many students have asked to stay on until graduation.
To learn more about the program and what else McDonough offers its MBAs interested in venture capital, we spoke with Jeff Reid, the Founding Director of the Georgetown Entrepreneurship Initiative. Continue reading…
Washington D.C. Marketing MBAs
When you think of Washington D.C., the first thought is most likely politics, but that’s not all there is to the city. D.C. is also one of the best places in the U.S. to find a job in marketing. According to a report in Forbes, Washington D.C. is among the top cities for jobs as a marketing manager, marketing coordinator and online marketing manager.
One of the reasons for D.C.’s marketing focus includes the many marketing firms and enterprises that call the city home. These companies require creative professionals to fill their many open positions, and Marketing MBAs can quickly and easily snag any of these openings.
And the good news for these MBAs is that they have many schools to choose from to earn an MBA in marketing. Five out of the six graduate schools in the D.C. area offer a concentration in marketing, and at a few of the schools, electives aren’t all that are available. At McDonough, MBAs can also participate in a consumer research institute, and at the Smith School, they can participate in a Behavioral Lab.
So, what does it look like to earn an MBA in Marketing in Washington D.C.? We’ve outlined the top five programs. Continue reading…
