Guys
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but can someone shed light on Part Time vs EMBA at Haas, Kellogg and Booth? I know that the EMBA is more $, but what do you get there that you don't with Part Time? The networking etc,?
Thanks

It's simply designed for people with different needs. HP manufactures laptops for business users and personal/home users. PT MBA and EMBA is similar to that aspect.
Some schools offer both PT MBA and EMBA without much difference (mainly because they are simply offering them to generate revenue) but in general:
PT MBA is like FT MBA except: a lot of PT MBA programs lack OCR, etc (yes, there are exceptions, like Booth) and PT MBA students take pretty much take all the courses that FT MBA students take, but less courses per semester. More resources are dedicated to FT MBA programs because those students must find jobs after bschool. PT MBA students are expected to have a job.
EMBA is designed for older, more senior executives. Some say it's easier to get in compared to PT MBA (lower GMAT requirements? Experience outweighs low UG GPA? etc - depends on school) programs. But EMBA students typically meet on weekends every X weeks. PT MBA programs either offer flexible week night classes or weekends, but EMBA is typically only offered on weekends and only hold classes every few weeks at a time. The more prestigious the reputation of the bschool, typically more established executives (but not always the case).

Thanks nink! What is OCR?
Also all schools say it is the same piece of paper at the end of any program PT FT EMBA etc. Granted FT is a totally separate beast with internship etc.., but between EMBA and PT if one had the option of both which one should one choose. In the sense that why is the EMBA cost so much more than PT - I guess there are meals, lodging etc included, but the classes/experience would be similar?
