Kellogg or Booth part time? I have four years of corporate finance experience and looking to transition to more strategy/Corp dev. I’m looking for the school that will put me in the best position to pivot and also with the better community (social and networking). Kellogg would be accelerated and about 18K cheaper.

Lol part time programs at Booth and Kellogg are not weak.

You get the same education in name only... you can’t compare the two. If you’re truly interested in pivoting you’re better off going to a top 30 MBA then part time kellogg/booth. If your goal is to impress layman folks who won’t know the distinction go part time. But on campus recruiters know and the best time for you to make a career move is at school for your internship and first job right on graduation.

Currently at Booth PT but seriously considered Kellogg PT as well.

There’s tons of data at both that speaks to the ability to transition...extremely high conversion rate of those looking to transition that did it successfully. I chose Booth as I am staying in finance and wanted the brand name for later in my career. For your goal I think either would be great.

I’m in the field I want to be in and plan to make a small transition that doesn’t require leaving the workforce to get the career pivot that full time programs offer. It’s hard to connect virtually right now but there’s a lot of great people at Booth. (It’s fully back in person in September). Also alumni network has been very receptive when I reach out.

Part-time transitions are weak. Make sure you know that but name brand part-time MBAs are great for looking good on a resume. Just know you’ll have more luck transitioning careers from a full time

Yeah I would say that was the primary reason. One of them was looking to pivot and was able to, but the other person just wanted it to check the MBA box for her career. The funny thing is, I originally was looking at PT MBA programs and they all dissuaded me from it, so I’m starting a FT this fall. And like SC1 said, this isn’t to scare you, but I really would hate for you to start a PT program and it not be what you expected and having to endure that for 3 years.

Both are great for that. What type of strategy? Corp Dev usually entails some M&A. I’ve definitely seen some successful transitions made by PT Kellogg students, but most of these transitions were MBB or T2 consulting related.

Haha, I think a lot of people talk based on articles and hear say. I know people who were in both PT programs so I can speak based on second hand experience. There are plenty of people in FT programs who don’t pivot successfully.

like

If you want to pivot both industry and function, I would consider FT. If you just want to pivot function to Corp dev, doesn’t seem like a huge pivot and PT could work.

I was in a similar boat to you and FT at Kellogg made more sense than PT there.
