Advantage of 1 year programs over 2 year programs
1. An equivalent degree in half the time and cost.
2. The lost opportunity cost of not having a job for 2 year.
3. Despite the shortened academic experience, MBA employers tend to award one-year grads the same starting salaries they pay MBAs of two-year programs. In fact, several schools report that their one-year MBAs make slightly more than graduates of their traditional programs, largely the result of differences in work experience.

Advantage of 2 year programs over 1 year programs
1. Losing out on the summer internship which is almost a yardstick of recruitment.
2. Losing out on networking and socializing with future co-workers.
3. 2 year programs almost always are less than 2 years in tenure by a couple of months at least.
3. Limited number of schools offering the one year MBA program.
4. One major distinction between most of the one-year U.S. programs and the European MBAs is that the U.S. versions generally require a business undergraduate degree and/or a bunch of core prerequisites.

Hi
Another list of 1 Year Business degree (not MBA though):
1. Stanford Master of Science in Management for Experienced Leaders.
Eligibility
Applicants are expected to have the equivalent of a bachelor's degree, and eight or more years of increasingly successful work experience. Most successful applicants have five or more years in management positions.
2. MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership
Consider yourself a strong candidate for the program if you:
Work in a global environment or demonstrate a committed global perspective.
Hold an undergraduate degree and at least 10 years of relevant experience.
Exhibit exceptional leadership performance, functional expertise, and innovation.
LBS also has a Sloan fellow program. But, here we are just focusing on US B schools.

Hi Souvik
please can you help me with a latest list of top 10 one year full time global MBA schools (India, European and American), which are at par with top 10 two year MBA programs in terms of placements, starting packages and career change. I have 8 years of work ex in fashion and want to get into retail/ management consulting post MBA.
As of now, i have applied to ISB (not with many hopes as GMAT score was low), and planning to retake GMAT and apply to INSEAD in R3.
I have not heard any great reviews about IE school. Its weird that they do not have any application deadlines, and earliest I can apply now it seems is their April 2015 intake as they want application to be submitted a year before the course starts.
I also want to know reviews for IMD. I read somewhere that IMD ranks higher than INSEAD currently. IMD only has a Jan intake, that is too far from now
How about SAID Oxford and HEC Paris? Heard their placement cells are not that great.
how long is London business school MBA. with higher work ex, do you think they could consider a lower gmat score around 650?
What do you say about IIMA and other IIMs one year programs?
Any other good ones that i am missing?
I believe there are no one year programs in US. Kellogg required business education background, hence not for me.
Thanks
