Hi
altdatafin,
We have many past clients who are currently attending or have attended part-time MBA programs. From what they tell us anecdotally, they say it is no doubt a lot of work. You basically have time for work, school and a minimal social life. Of course, as you noted, this the trade-off for not wanting to put your career on hold.
The general consensus is that it is worth it. For those who are more years removed from the part-time, MBA, they say it has been important in accelerating their career. So, while the short-term may be rough, it'll be worth it in the long-term.
If you are really concerned, you should reach out to the Admissions office to see if they can match you with a few current students who can speak to their experience balancing work and school. I am sure they would be happy to give you an honest assessment!
If you need help with applications or additional guidance, please reach out to us.
