If you’re interested in completing your MBA, but not ready or able to commit to a full time program, a Hybrid MBA may be the solution you’re looking for. Hybrid MBA’s offer a mix of online instruction with in-class instruction allowing student to attend the school of their choice without necessarily having to give up their job, moving, or adding endless hours of commuting to their day.

Many people considering an MBA are reluctant to pursue a completely online program for fear that they may be considered less prestigious by their peers, and that is a valid concern. Why bother going to the trouble of completing such a demanding program if it is not going to bring you the opportunities you’re looking for? However, hybrid programs are gaining popularity with more and more schools as, after the initial fiscal investment of designing the program, these programs are relatively low maintenance using less campus services and resources. This means the number of schools offering these type of programs is growing and now includes many presitigous schools like Duke/Fuqua School of Business, Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business and Babson College.
