Is This Program Right for Me?

The part-time MBA program is carefully structured for maximum impact in a course of study designed for busy, ambitious professionals. Offering the same challenging graduate education as the full-time program, our part-time MBA is a cohort-based program specially designed to accommodate working people. Students begin the program in the Summer Semester with Weatherhead's Leadership Assessment and Development course—often referred to simply as LEAD. During the course, students are placed in teams deliberately set up to include a diversity of learning styles, and they move through the three-year part-time MBA curriculum with the same group of peers.

The cohort-based format of the Weatherhead part-time MBA program allows participants to develop together as students, but also as colleagues, outside of the demands of the program. It mirrors real-life experience in a more formal setting, and encourages a strong network and lasting friendships.
