Part-time MBA | Value


Study an MBA while working

The flexibility of a part-time MBA, being able to study over a longer period of time and instantly apply the skills you learn in the classroom to your job, can help you reap the rewards at work. Students of the Fox School’s part-time program have up to six years to complete their degree. Chicago Booth gives students up to five years.

Another advantages of a part-time MBA is the network both face-to-face and online. ESMT Berlin’s part-time MBA, for example, offers 14 in-person modules, which take place between Thursday afternoon and Saturday. The curriculum is split 80% online and 20% in-person. The school’s campus is currently reopening to students as well after a temporary closure because of coronavirus.

MIP’s part-time MBA brings students together for one weekend per month and as well as for two full weeks in-person, in Europe. To complement the face-to-face modules the school has developed a digital learning platform in partnership with Microsoft, so students are exposed to the hybrid learning model throughout.
