各位可否谈谈读PART-TIME MBA switch career 的机会和例子。我所知的是我所在的公司，有2个PART-TIME MBA成功的由software engineer转到 finance department.

i applied dual degree. full-time seems the only option. otherwise either when could I graduate.

I have been admitted by NYU part-time (best part-time program in US).
My company is likely to pay all the tuition. I wonder whether it is
worthwhile applying top full-time programs such as HBS and Wharton. The
forgone cost will be roughly 90K salary x 2 + tuition and housing
expense(100k)=280k, isn't it a lot money?

I want to here more on this topic.

I am also at the cross road of choosing part-time or full time. My 760 GMAT will pretty much garrantee an offer from the part-time program at U of Maryland. Should I try to apply for top 10? I have been working in the same company for the past 6 years as an software engineer. Just like the previous post, the cost of going full time seems unbearable. I am about 35, have a lovely son. Any suggestions?

In my personal view, it might depend on whether you want to go back to your current industry.  If you are planning on changing career, then it does make sense to go for a full time program, it definitely gives you more networking opportunities.  If you are seeking advancement within your current organization, obviously part time will serve the purpose just fine.  As far as money is concerned, a better school is more important, at least for me.

Do we have a option like part-time work and full-time MBA?

那些top school是否基本只会招有很强工作背景的人。我只是纯做科研技术的，有时候真的不明白做的又不是business或者管理的东西，就是工作10年也未必就对申请有利吧。我也想如果能够申请到top的就quit job，但是要到top不仅仅要很高的分数吧。所以感觉像是一个死循环。我想change career，所以想读full－time。但是我做的专业不相关又使我很难申请到top school。有时候觉得那些学校似乎只招收已经很成功的人士了，也难怪排名都能那么高。我不知道自己的看法是不是对，希望有经验的朋友多给一些意见或者一些例子。

请问NYU part-time MBA 学费大概是多少啊？

There is a potential opportunity for me to work in NYC.  I guess the pay may be between $60000 to $70000.  Although I have worked in the same industry for 8+ years and do not find this kind of work interesting any more, if I can get the job offer and H1B visa, I think I'd rather do part-time MBA for prudence sake.  If I were you, I would do the part-time MBA considering the high costs of full-time MBA.

You can look into volunteer projects where you will find more opportunities to take on leadership positions.  Good luck!
