Is A Part-Time MBA Worth It?

Part-time MBAs allow you to advance your career without taking time off work, but the cost is often similar to full-time MBA programs. So is a part-time MBA worth it?

Brittany Schuck (pictured below) accelerated her career while a student on the part-time MBA at the Fox School. She landed a job with GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) shortly after enrolling, and says getting her foot in the door is thanks to what she learned during the MBA.

“I think the way the professor required us to link the case study and how an organization handled it to what we were currently dealing with at work was really valuable.

“My MBA kick-started that and really helped me look at the bigger picture not only for my teams but for the organization as a whole.”

Engineer Peter Melrose (pictured below) is another student who has benefitted from applying what he learned in the classroom directly to the workplace. He is a current student on the part-time MBA at the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Business and Economics.

Peter left behind the engineering world and became a consultant for a Hong Kong recruitment firm. He attends classes twice a week on weekday evenings, and says his career is benefitting from the degree.

“In addition to a wider network, experience in handling difficult situations and learning new skills, I now find myself more engaged at work,” Peter says. “I question why things are the way they are, rather than simply accepting the status quo.”
