E MBA VS MBA

by jayaramgokul » Thu Oct 09, 2014 9:46 pm
Hi Sir,

Once again I need as small opinion from you on this matter. I want to know exactly how different an E MBA is from an MBA degree?

By difference I mean in terms of perceived quality and credibility from an employers view point,academic prospects and other such parameters. Does the fact that such part time programs select more seasoned applicants( has less restrictions on age) has anything to do with the intended quality of such programs?

On the whole I would like to know if I were to take an E MBA rather than an MBA would I be differentiated from an MBA grad in stances relating to caliber or quality or even when it comes to a situation where both an MBA and an EMBA student are applying for the same job.

Do you think that in such situations an MBA student would have an upper hand than the E MBA student just because of the fact that one was a part time course? Has there been instances, like this or unlike this?

I sincerely hope that you can clarify my issue here.

Well, it's not so much a question of credibility as much as age, experience and opportunity. For an MBA you are expected to be older and more experienced, and they are not so much designed for this massive career change like a regular MBA, but rather for a career BOOST (Although people DO of course also change careers)

Hope this helps!

Best,
Jon
