greetings,
I have couple of questions.
What are the pros and cons of Part time Vs full time MBA
If 2 persons with similar backgroud apply for a job but one with full time MBA and the other with part time MBA, who is given more preference?
I will appreciate your response
thanks
Here are a few of the pros and cons of the PT MBA
Pros,
1) You can continue working so you don't lose your income for two years.
2) You can immediately apply the lessons you learn on the job.
3) You stay in the work force and continue to acquire experience.
Con
1) You continue to work so you can't take as much advantage of the networkign and extra-curricular opportunities of a FTMBA.
2) It is very difficult to juggle working full time and going to school.
3) Some PT programs have limited access to the career placement center.
4) If you want to change careers, there is no internship which frequently facillitates a career change.
All things being equal in terms of the applicant's qualifications, I am not sure there is preference given to either one.
Good luck!
