Aside from OCR is a part time MBA from a top 10 program equal to a full time MBA in terms of prestige and recognition down the road? Do you ever have to disclose that you attended one or the other?

Part time and exec mbas carry the same weight in the real world.

Think about it...you demonstrated that you could get your full time consulting job done while getting an MBA.

It also shows that you had a good enough career where it didnt make sense for you to take 2 years off to do a full time mba.

The only place that a part time mba is not up to snuff is in the heads of people that are jealous

Obviously people can determine from your resume that you went full-time or part-time...

It just seems strange that if they are equal more people wouldn't pursue a part time degree considering the significantly reduced admission standards

A lot of people value MBAs because of the networking and relationship building opportunities, hard to do that during weekends and nights. It's also a lot more fun full time.

Totally read OCR as Optical Character Recognition and went wut?

I know school can be done, but for PhDs they usually want you to also work as a TA. Additionally, I am not interested in online programs.
