Education is changing – especially the MBA

February 1, 2021 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

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 […]

Most folks don’t want an online-only degree. But if you did…

May 28, 2020 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

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 […]

($) Which schools were already online?

May 19, 2020 by EssaySnark - Discusses NYU Stern, Michigan Ross, Kellogg, MIT Sloan, UNC Kenan-Flagler Leave a Comment

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 […]

($) Ahead of the curve: What might set specific business schools apart as near-term leaders in delivering the online learning experience?

April 29, 2020 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

(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 […]

How valuable is that MBA?

March 15, 2017 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

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 […]

By request: Our thoughts on Arizona State

June 30, 2016 by EssaySnark - Discusses Carey 2 Comments

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 […]

($) Commuting to a part-time or Executive MBA

February 9, 2016 by EssaySnark

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

June 11, 2012 by EssaySnark - Discusses UNC Kenan-Flagler 3 Comments

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 inĀ  […]

No GMAT required part 2

June 13, 2011 by EssaySnark - Discusses Cornell Johnson, Columbia Leave a Comment

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 […]

What about an online MBA?

May 6, 2011 by EssaySnark - Discusses UNC Kenan-Flagler 2 Comments

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 […]
