Ronald J. Alsop, Wall Street Journal, December 20, 2005

The Wall Street Journal recently published its Guide to the Top Business Schools 2006. In this excerpt from the book, author Ronald J. Alsop offers insights on the trend toward part-time MBA programs. Georgetown University, University of Maryland, George Washington University, and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign all recently opened part-time programs. And while most part-time MBA programs must be completed in three years, at NYU’s Stern School of Business, students can finish the degree in anywhere from two to six years.

NOTE: For information about part-time MBA options at the Simmons School of Management, see http://www.simmons.edu/som/mba/academics/overview/
