Executive MBA Program Rankings

Executive MBA Programs are geared toward people who have extensive career experience and typically the students in these programs keep their full-time jobs. Classes are usually in the evenings and on weekends. Many schools also offer part-time MBA programs. These are similar to Executive MBA Programs, with classes scheduled to allow students to maintain their employment while earning an MBA. Both of these program types may require more time than the traditional two-years to complete the degree.

"The part-time MBA program at San Diego State University allowed me to reach my educational goals in a way that was financially favorable and flexible enough to keep my career moving forward. The coursework options were well designed and integrated with the full time program in such a way that diversity played a significant role in the classroom. The creativity, enthusiasm, and social network of full time students balanced with the real world experiences of working professionals, made for a dynamic atmosphere. Now, a few years out from the program, the value of the education and experience is becoming more and more apparent."
