Is there any difference in the terms of oppurtunities between Part time and full time MBA programs?
How much GMAT score should one have (median) for part time programs of top 20 b schoools in US? As I see this figure for full time MBA is 690-720. How much experience is it usually for part time programs of top b schools?
Cheers,
Usually part-time programs are more geared to career enhancers and full-time programs are geared more to career changers. Some, albeit fewer part-time programs, have somewhat restrictive access to the career management services -- especially for sponsored students. However, this is a policy that you need to check school by school. Furthermore just because of timing, there are usually fewer career services/opportunities for part-timers than for full-time students. As usual, you need to check these options at each school.
Regarding the average GMAT, that really varies in the top 20 part-time programs and you should check it by school. In general it is lower than for full-time programs. Also, in general part-time programs have slightly more experienced students than the full-time programs, more in the 7-12 years of experience that 3-6 years of experience, but that isn't necessarily so. Businessweek.com has a lot of this data conveniently organized for part-time programs by school.
Best,
Linda
