Hi,
I'm trying to assess exactly what is the difference/purpose of 1YR MBAs in comparison to the more popular 2YR MBAs within the USA.
This would be schools such as Northwestern, Cornell, Duke, NYU, Emory and USC
Off the top of my head, the key differences are:
- generally for candidates who are further along in their career
- for people who do not want to switch industry
- for people who are more likely to stay within the same company
- slightly less competitive to get into when compared to their 2YR counterpart (i know this is debatable)
Am I missing anything here? Is there anything else I should be aware of with regards to the 1YR MBA? Any information at all would be helpful.
Thanks

Hi ANALysis,
You have captured the key differences for the 1 year vs. 2 year MBA programs. The 1 year program is geared towards candidates that are certain of what they want to do post MBA, and minimize time out of work and the associated opportunity costs. One thing that you didn't mention but is tied into what you mentioned is an internship. As you stated, the 1 year MBA is for people who don't want to switch industries, hence you don't need an internship to explore other options. If you think you might like to have the option to explore another field, even if you are relatively certain that you want to stay with the same industry and/or company, it could be worthwhile to do 2 year program and have that internship experience.
There also additional intangible benefits associated with the 2 year program. Part of the MBA experience is bonding and networking with your fellow classmates. An additional year translates to that many more classes, events, trips, and other opportunities to build deeper relationships.
At the end of the day, it comes down to your priorities and what you're looking to get out of your MBA experience.
