What are full- and part-time MBA programs?

Full- and part-time MBA programs are often seen as the traditional mode of MBA education, where management students are taught almost exclusively on a business school’s campus, and enjoy un-restricted interaction with lecturers and classmates.

Similar to a working environment, full-time MBA programs require students to study throughout the week during term time. Part-time programs are more flexible, offering enrolled business students the opportunity to work while they study as their programs require less class time and study per week, but do last longer.

Both distance learning and online MBA programs are comparatively new modes of management education. As a result, some question the value of an MBA that is taught remotely, with restricted interaction.

However, there is no doubt that the convenience of such MBA programs allows many students to enroll in online and distance learning courses, when otherwise they would not be able to attend a business school campus. In fact, in some cases an online or distance learning MBA can be more beneficial than traditional full- or part-time MBA programs.
