jfc how much do these things cost in total if 35k isn’t most of it?

seems like a colossal waste of money unless you absolute NEED to say “Graduate of HBS” or something, coyly omitting that it wasn’t even a real MBA (which is flame anyway)

But hey if someone else is paying and you will get a benefit from it, do it. You can do the math of cost versus future income increases, and any other non-pecuniary benefits.

Is the $35k cost to you inclusive of the travel and hotels needed for the program (either in philly or SF). $35k is not bad for a Wharton eMBA.

if you can't arrive at the correct answer for this simple cost/benefit analysis problem, then an EMBA isn't going to help you.

do some schools have EMBA programs that are real MBA's (which you don't have to disclose as EMBA's - sup Julia?) and some that are bullshit money sinks for bored executives?

I worked at the stanford GSB one awesome summer and the Executive MBA program was an 8 week course where the execs went to class for 6 hours and then partied and cheated on their spouses with each other constantly the rest of the time.

Someone on my Linkedin feed completed the Wharton eMBA and it was flooded w/ "I graduated with the best MBA ever" bullshit as he spammed it and "liked" all his classmates similar posts.

Is there any admission criteria besides being able to write a check?
