If you google PT vs. FT MBA programs you'll get a lot of articles that tell you what to consider. That's probably where you should start first.
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

Hi there,
There are a lot of good reasons for both types of programs and they have their own cons as well. Generally speaking, however, part time programs are great for those looking to continue in the same career path or a very similar one and are looking to fill fundamental academic gaps. The chances for structured career services and extracurriculars are limited but you also don't have the much larger bill of a full time program.
On the other hand, if you're interested in the MBA experience or are adamant about switching career tracks, then a full time program gives you the involvement opportunities and internship capacity to help enable that. It also costs a pretty penny
There are a lot of personal and professional decisions that go into determining which is the right option for you and if you want to talk it through with someone, feel free to set up time with me. I'm happy to help!
