It’s true that an in-person classroom experience has value — but remote learning does have its advantages. Given how much all the business schools have now invested into online offerings over the course of the past year, you just know that they’re going to be embracing this even more as the future unfolds. Presumably all […]
Continue reading...Most folks don’t want an online-only degree. But if you did…
We tossed out some names of some schools the other day that, even pre-covid, had started to embrace online education for business. What questions should you be asking if you’re considering an online MBA or any degree program delivered natively online? The first is, what is the format? How is designed? Yes it’s online, but […]
Continue reading...($) Which schools were already online?
Gosh it seems like forever-ago that we promised this. Way back a century ago in late April, we were talking about what factors affect the instructional quality you’ll experience as a student taking online courses in an MBA program (if it comes to that) and which schools might be ahead of the curve in delivering […]
Continue reading...($) Ahead of the curve: What might set specific business schools apart as near-term leaders in delivering the online learning experience?
(Dang we coulda sworn this post went up before. But ‘pparently not. Lots of ideas here! Grab your favorite beverage and settle in, BSer, this is a long one.) As a followup to our post on Monday about what your experience might be like as a student in the coronavirus era of online classes, let’s […]
Continue reading...How valuable is that MBA?
There are plenty of ways to evaluate ROI on an MBA, the most obvious being to look at your potential post-MBA salary compared to where you’re at now. There are plenty of intangibles associated with graduate business education too of course. The GMAC researchers put out a survey of bschool alumni every year to try […]
Continue reading...By request: Our thoughts on Arizona State
We received a request for our opinion on ASU in this former BSer’s Success Story and so today we are circling back as promised. Arizona State is home to the WP Carey School of Business – which is unfortunately not the only bschool named “Carey.” Johns Hopkins also has a “Carey Business School” sometimes known […]

Continuing on with more thoughts on the EMBA from yesterday: There really is no excuse NOT to do the campus visit when applying to an EMBA since, theoretically, you’re local to the school. Yes, it’s true that more and more students are commuting further distances to an EMBA and other part-time formats. We’ve seen plenty...

UNC Kenan-Flagler
EssaySnark was floored – really truly floored – on Friday when we got the email below. We have never before been approached by a school about anything. In fact, the times that we have approached the schools ourselves, we haven’t exactly been given the warmest of receptions. You think there’s a stigma for you in […]
Continue reading...No GMAT required part 2
There’s another option for any of you somewhat older, somewhat GMAT-averse types. The Cornell EMBA. Not the Cornell-Queen’s EMBA, which is a distance-learning/distributed/virtual classroom thingymabob with Cornell in partnership with Queen’s College. Apparently with that one, you are awarded with not one but TWO MBA degrees. Not sure what two MBAs will get you that […]
Continue reading...What about an online MBA?
We responded to a question on an online board about someone debating whether they should accept an offer at an online MBA program. UNC Kenan-Flagler is a pretty good business school (their real estate MBA is especially strong) and they’ve recently announced a big push into the online/distance learning MBA world. Are they blazing a […]
