Hello Find MBA board:

I am from France, and I'm interested in doing graduate business studies in the US. I was looking at a few MBA programs at the smaller business schools that offer part time MBA programs, and was wondering how appropriate these are for somebody like me.

The reason I am looking at part time programs is that I would like to combine my studies with cultural immersion - to use the time as a way to experience a part of the US. And also, these programs tend to be better from a budgetary perspective.

In terms of career expectations, I don't need anything substantial. I'm happy with my position, and my job is flexible enough that I can work from abroad. The reason I'm looking at MBA programs is that it would be nice to have a structured way to look at business fundamentals (as opposed to studying through self-taught modes.)

Here are some schools that are representative of what I am looking at:

WUSTL Olin
Wisconsin - La Crosse
St. Louis - Cook

If anybody has any insight, that would be fantastic.

You cannot get a visa for a part time programme

Oh, bummer... But thanks for letting me know.
