Although it might seem the Full Time MBA would be preferred, the MBA part time could be really helpful, especially for those who have a good job and wish to combine the work with the MBA studies. The part-time type of MBA is especially addressed to working professionals and that’s why these programs held their courses during weekdays on evenings, so after working hours, or in weekends, so that the students would be able to attend classes and also keep their jobs. The part time courses can take between two and seven years to complete, as they usually require the same number of courses as the full time programs, only sometimes they require fewer courses.
The first reason to choose a MBA part time is that during a part time program, the participant can work full time, so he does not need to quit his job. As the costs of MBA could be a bit high, it is useful to have a job besides taking this course, not only to be able to pay the course, but also as there are many situations in which the employers will pay the course for their employees, so the employees will work full time and attend the part time courses for free.
The part time programs offer almost the same opportunities as the full time programs, but the big difference is that they might last longer. The schedule might be a little tiring for participants who have a full time job, but this way the participant can take full benefits for both the actual job and the courses which will help him grow in the career. Also, the part-time program has lower admission standards than the full time program. Another advantage it has is that during this program, participants can start implement what they learn at classes in their real life, so they can automatically gain experience. Also, by taking this type of courses, the participants don’t need to go on internships, as they are already employed.
The great advantage of MBA part time is the flexibility, so that the schedule is made in such a way to allow students continue with their lives and also attend courses that will help them in their future careers. Yet, the flexibility of these programs means the students will most often give away their free time in order to attend the classes, but after all, they will sure be happy with the decision. Another advantage, which can also be considered as part of the flexibility of the program, is that the student can start the classes at any time of the year, and can also choose when to complete the degree’s courses, as they can be on a period of 2, 3 and up to 7 years of studies. They can usually enter the courses on one of the four available dates in a year.
With these advantages and the advantages that the program has in common with the full time programs as well, the students can get high benefits by choosing a part time program to learn and take their degree in MBA.
I have observed that Westcliff University is offering a comprehensive program for Part Time MBA. This program is not too expensive and education is meeting international standard of education.
