Hello all,
I'm currently an engineer working in Houston, TX looking to move away from a more technical role to a business operations management/ consulting type role. I'm a couple weeks away from giving my GMAT and I'm hoping to hit the 700 score range. With my current personal situation, I have only options of part time MBA or an online MBA. I'm trying to decide between these 3 schools -
1) Online MBA @ Kelley School of Business (Kelley direct) - Biggest pro is the program cost is the least and flexibility in program itself. However, I cannot seem to shake off the stigma associated with online MBAs. School itself is reputed top 25 B school.
2) Part time MBA at McCombs business school, UT Austin - program at Houston - Featured rank 7 for part time MBA this year, but is almost $40,000 more than Kelley.
3) Part time MBA at May business school, Texas A&M - program at Houston - lower ranked than above 2 schools, financially is middle of the road. As of now, this is my least favorite choice.
Any advice choosing among the 3 schools? Especially between option 1 and option 2?
Thanks

Hi,
I'd advise you to stop on part-time MBA option, as the employment statistics of online MBA alumni is very low. Between two possible options McCombs is the best one. if your profile (esp.academic - GPA, GMAT) is great, you'll be eligible to take a scholarship, which is usually cover 25-50% of tuition fees.
Do not forget to ask https://mbastrategy.com team of consultants about best school options for you, when you pass your GMAT.

Between option 1 and option 2, definitely option 2!
I understand you may have financial constraints, and the extra $40,000 might mean a lot in the short-term.
However - Your MBA is with you for life, and you have one chance to get the right mix of brand name, experiences and alumni network.
With a PT program, your peer-learning experiences are likely to be richer - and you have a better chance at building a professional network that can stand the test of time.
Also, as mbastrategycom says, online mba employment statistics tell a none-too-impressive tale.
So definitely option 2!
