Part-Time MBA vs. EMBA decision.

I've been looking at various universities, and their requirements. Initially, I was focusing on EMBA programs, as they seemed to fit my schedule / work somewhat better. However, some schools, like Columbia, seem to require you to be an executive, which I'm not. On the other hand, there are some universities that don't explicitly state that you need to be an executive for an emba program, like UNC for instance. I have over 9 years of experience, very little at the managerial level, mostly because I wanted to strengthen my technical knowledge before I delve into the management side.

My question is, which program should I apply to? Or, should I base it on what the university requires as part of the respective program. For example, Columbia is geared towards "executives" for the emba, in which case I should focus on applying for the part-time mba, so on and so forth.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Dear aunraza,

There is definitely variance on what schools prefer in candidates for their EMBA programs and how they use the term "executive MBA". In most cases, these are programs for folks with 10+ years of experience. Some schools also require applicants to have managerial experience and others do not. I would suggest you talk with admissions professionals at schools you are considering to determine which program is the appropriate choice for you with a particular school. Don't be surprised to find that some will direct you to a part-time program and others will tell you can apply to either the EMBA or the part-time.

Good luck,
Lisa
