Where I taught, Executive MBA students spent 8 hours a week in class. They met once a week and had four hours of classes in the morning and 4 hours in the afternoon. Full time students had three full hours per class and took four classes. Part-time students had two 3-hour classes a week and finished in three years. All these are 60 min classes, not 50 as in most programs but the semesters are a week shorter. Consult the Official MBA Guide. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org. It varies.

It varies from Institute to Institute. Their are institutes that have classes running for 3 hrs at a stretch. Their are institutes that run classes for 50 mins. So it depends on the college. The way they have designed the course for the students. For other queries relating to MBA Institutes, follow the link: http://admissions.mbauniverse.com/ As you answered it yourself.

When law schools ask for your GPA, they are asking for your UNDERGRADUATE gpa. Nowhere on the application does it ask for your graduate school GPA. So no, your GPA will still remain a 2.96 in their eyes. Having an advanced degree wouldn't look bad on your application, and if you want to go into business /commerce/corporate law, then it might help.... just a tad bit. But the "top" law schools will not take a 2.96, even if you have an MBA, unless MAYBE you have an incredible LSAT score. No, an MBA won’t help you in the GPA area.

Law schools look to see if there applications have analytical ability, strong writing and verbal skills, in addition to strong reason skills. An MBA will not really help, but a MA in English, or History, or Psychology will help. If you wish to practice Business Law then the MBA is extremely helpful. My advise get the MBA and pursue your JD at the same time. You will finish in the same amount of time. Not really.

If you do well in an MBA program then you are more likely to be highly motivated to do well in law school. They will also consider your LSAT score. Top tier schools will require scores of 165+ in conjunction with a good gpa. http://www.lawschooldiscussion.org is a good site to visit to get information about attending law school.

]]> Comment on Q&A: Pepperdine University or Woodbury University which one is better for MBA? by RoaringMice http://www.managementjuice.com/3565/qa-pepperdine-university-or-woodbury-university-which-one-is-better-for-mba/comment-page-1#comment-4953 RoaringMice Thu, 08 Sep 2011 00:14:22 +0000 http://www.managementjuice.com/3565/qa-pepperdine-university-or-woodbury-university-which-one-is-better-for-mba#comment-4953 I'd rather you go to Pepperdine, if you can get in. Pepperdine is far better known, which can be important for your MBA. It's also AACSB accredited, which can be vital. More and more employers are making it so that they do not hire out of MBA programs that are not AACSB accredited. Woodbury is not. That's an issue. With an MBA, the reputation of the program really does matter to many employers, so you're right to ask the question. Take the GMAT, and apply to Pepperdine. Also look at other AACSB accredited programs in your area - and there are a lot. I'll give a link to a site where you can search for them: I’d rather you go to Pepperdine, if you can get in.
