Hi all - going to start my MBA this fall.
Thinking of starting with 4 courses for the semester, but wanted to ask others if I should expect more workload than undergrad? For additional reference, I work FT, but not crazy hours. Classes might be in person (I am 20 min from the college) or online, evenings only. I don't have any kids. Would love your thoughts! Thank you!

I did my MBA online while working full time. Took me two years and the workload was very manageable. I think I did 2-4 classes per session. I think if you do in person you should expect a similar workload, but online you’ll get less.

Great job on looking to get that next degree! It’s valuable!!!

My thought is that if I don't get off the waitlist, I can do the MS MIT this year then the EMBA next year. My mentor thinks the MS MIT might pigeon-hole me into the tech-only world and be redundant if I'm going to go on to get the EMBA.

I'm starting my first year consulting on an IT contract in June.
