Advantages and Disadvantages of the Part Time MBA Programs

Students generally complete the part-time programs in 2.5 to 4.0 years. While many part-time graduates feel they miss out to some extent on the recruiting process, they are also usually very quick to point out that they were advancing their careers while in business school and that they felt less pressure than their full-time counterparts because of their employment situations. Additionally, many part-time MBA students and graduates are fortunate enough to have their current employer cover their tuition bills.
