if you’re not planning to recruit, you don’t need to impress anyone or network your way in. There are some benefits of a more prestigious degree but they lose value overtime and eventually become pretty weak.

As you were staying with the same company, the reputation and brand of the MBA is not as critical. So convenience and accessibility can take greater role and front stage.

In general, I recommend attending executive or part-time programs with the largest class size because that class will be your network down the road and immediately after graduation.

Thanks @bb - tepper may be an ideal fit, potentially warrington as well, or just continuing with Gies - good feedback
