Hi All,
I am an engineer with an master’s degree and about 10 years of experience in technology development for manufacturing industries. I want to move to the business side of technology industry. I want to move into New Business Development or Product Management roles after my MBA. I have some entrepreneurial goals as well, but not sure about their fruitfullness.
I have been accepted at Cornell Accelerated MBA as well as Chicago Booth weekend MBA. My company may not sponsor my MBA. I understand that both of these programs don't have an internship useful for career switchers.
I would prefer a part time MBA if the two programs are about equal due to my family situation. Could anyone please suggest me what would be a better choice to help me make a decision?
Thanks,
Anmol

Generally Booth's part time program is ranked higher than Cornell... USNEWS, Businessweek, Financial times all have it higher... but if you are looking to pay for yourself... I would choose whichever is closer to your family. Booth does have career support after graduating.

It is absolutely not right to compare a Part-time program with a Full-time program.
Chicago Booth is a higher ranked school, but, Cornell AMBA is a full-time program. And the Johnson AMBA is the most unique 1 yr. MBA program there is - You do NOT exempt any core courses; it is in fact truly ACCELERATED and is not meant for the flippant student or the faint-hearted!
Just because both of them do not have internships, it doesn't really mean the experience is similar.
As an AMBA from Johnson and as a TA for a part-time program (for execs), I can tell you with certainty that the experiences in both are completely different.
That said, for someone who needs to change careers, either of these may not be ideal. You should go for a full-time 2 yr program with an internship.
An MBA is a one-time experience. Do not make your choice based on marginal time or marginal cost basis. If the goal is learning and a career at the end of it, make a decision strategically. When you're getting into it anyway, go all out and give it your best shot!
All the best!
