Last week, Robbie wrote a blog about a talk by Henry Mintzberg, a professor at McGill University and a critic of today's MBA program. From the blog entry, Robbie reinforced one of Mintzberg's beliefs that "MBA programs should be part-time. The education should go hand-in-hand with your work experience."

But detractors abound. According to this blog entry from a fellow blogger, Ian, it seems that part time and even executive MBA programs are getting little respect. There is a stigma attached to students who attend part time MBA programs. Ian echoed some of my thoughts in his article; however, I am baffled by the fact that Executive MBA programs, too, receive little respect from recruiters. Also, I have to point out that most colleges that offer part-time education program in business or any other disciplines are not top or upper tier schools. I wonder how the others, especially recruiters, would perceive part-time education programs if top schools start offering them to the public?
