Certainly the pandemic has changed everything. Has it changed the way you want to earn your MBA? Premium content starts here… ———– ———– Premium content ends. Are you considering an online MBA — or are you in one? We’d love to hear about your experiences, why you’re choosing this format, how it meets […]
Continue reading...Education is changing – especially the MBA
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 […]

(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.

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 […]

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 […]
