Information Session at Georgia Tech

Information Session at Georgia Tech

Two weeks ago, I went to an open house at Tech, complete with current student reception and an information session.  I was, briefly, able to meet with some students who are enrolled in the Evening MBA program.  Classes for Tech are a more traditional part time / flexible MBA style.  You can take between 0 and 3 classes a semester and each meets one day a week between Monday and Thursday.   Although there are differences in the way the State program and this MBA work, they are pretty comparable overall.  I left reassured that a program like this one would be very doable for me. 

The information session served to reiterate the websites statements that those attending the program in the evening would receive the exact same curriculum and the most of the same faculty as the Full Time MBA students.  Also, as conformation, the diploma received from this program would read only Masters in Business Administration, thus omitting any "Evening / Part Time" stipulation.  Which is very nice when Business Week ranks the Full Time program as number 29 in the country.

The Evening MBA is fairly new so enrollment is kept low and is gradually building toward the max desired for each class.  Although access to those students currently in the program was limited, the open house began at 5:30 PM and evening courses begin at 6:00PM, it was very nice to have the opportunity to see the program and the facilities. 

I always feel it is important to place your face in front of as many people who may make decisions as possible.  We shall see in due time, if this viewpoint on social interaction is valid.
