mba goals:
- learn/hone leadership and people skills
- take on more responsibility
- move to management/executive position
- get more life balance (is this possible? I guess this depends on the post-mba field or position I get into?)
- increase income
- not really a goal, but I'll consider it a bonus to work at the top 100
"managerial" - I mean I didn't have any management experience at work.
I'm currently in I.T.

What are your post MBA goals? I believe EMBAs are for people who do have managerial experience. When you say "managerial" do you mean people management or just any kind of management at all. What's your current field? I know two of the directors in my division did EMBAs (Johnson and Fuqua) and they had GREAT networking opportunities. True they came back to work for the same company but I imagine if they explored their options elsewhere they could go anywhere they want with the degree.
So basically what I'm saying is...more details please!
Have you managed a project or led a team to complete an assignment. You don't need a manager title or direct reports to have had managerial experience.
Do you want to stay in IT or move to a different industry? Do you know what kind of career you want. For example, my post MBA goal is to transition into either a non-profit development or corporate social responsibility role with a focus in creating public private partnerships. I'd like to do this at the senior manager or director level.
From what you're saying it seems a PT program might fit your needs if you're just looking to learn some new skills in finance, marketing, accounting, etc.
