Tony_Montana posted:Yes, but even then it could be said that if someone can get into Harvard they probably don't need an MBA in the first place. It's just a waste of time and money. Just the networking opportunity is worth the full price at a top five school.

DreamShipWrecked posted:Hearing people talking about part time being different, is it just in your favor that you are working and going to school simultaneously? Or are the degrees actually different? Part time is different because it a huge money maker for the school. So they mostly just care that you aren't going to drag down classes or torpedo their averages. The standard for entry is generally a lot lower.

Moneyball posted:You'll get an education with both, but the full-time programs are for networking and interning, while the part-time programs are just for the piece of paper. I don't entirely agree with that. Part time programs are just as much about networking as any other MBA program. The pool is just more localized. I did my MBA part time and made a lot of connections within my company (since it is one of the larger employers in the area and made up about half of the part time students) and with managers/professionals from around the area. Those connections have helped my career as much as what I learned in the classes even though it was a part time program. If you're doing an online program or a no-name degree mill then sure, it's just for the piece of paper. But if you're going to whatever the most prominent university is for your area then networking is very much still a thing. Thoguh fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Mar 29, 2016 |

Mandalay posted:If I went to an MBA program (with the goal of career change) and half of the connections I made were within my existing company, I'd be very unhappy. My guess is that people do MBAs with the primary goal of "networking and interning" are looking for career change across industries/sub-industries/sectors/spaces/verticals/markets. Sure, but the main point I was responding to was that the only reason somebody goes for a part time MBA is for the piece of paper. If your goal is to advance your career or make a jump to a new track but stay within the same industry and/or geographic area, the networking you get at a part time MBA at say, a local Big Ten/XII/SEC/Pac-12/etc type school is going to be valuable for that goal.
