Both Executive MBA and part-time MBA programs cater to professionals balancing a full-time job with their education. However, whereas EMBA programs are designed for professionals with 10 to 15 years of experience, part-time MBA programs tend to attract students with less experience. The content and class experience in a part-time MBA program more closely resembles that of a full-time MBA program—just presented outside of normal business hours.
A distance MBA is an online MBA program. These programs offer additional flexibility for students who both want to earn a degree part-time and can’t easily travel to a campus.
