with a job in hand, you can manage that expense.

concentrate on a particularly difficult course, and then take a heavier load
later with less intensive courses.

having an MBA degree is considered an added advantage, and thus, increasing your
chances of promotion.
Disadvantages of Part-Time MBA
1. Part-time MBA programs
usually take two to three years to complete, but may take up to five. For such a
long period, tuition assistance may not be available.
2. Only some selected
schools offer part-time MBA programs. Your choice is limited. You may be
required to attend a school that is not your first choice.
3. While doing part time
MBA one has to be under tremendous pressure. Because in the morning, you are
working, and attending classes in the evening. It will create double stress.
