Here in brazil is a fairly common habit, but MBAs here are weekly or two times a month, on the weekends. Not something you have to commit so much.
- qdpb 14y agoYou are describing EMBA (executive MBA).

- dudurocha 14y agoThank, debacle. I have a fair good reading comprehension, but my written skills are not so good.
- run4yourlives 14y agoSo I'll actually answer your question, given that all you got was an English critique and an semi-meaningless one liner: It depends. An MBA is usually considered individual learning by most employers, so the total cost is picked up by the individual. That said, there are companies out there that will consider picking up some or all the tab, especially for key employees or where there is a direct benefit demonstrated to the company. If you are working and taking an MBA at the same time, schools will offer "Executive MBAs" which are just part time courses with less full time classroom time. Often a week or two on campus, with everything else just online. More often than not, however, people are taking an MBA to get into one of those key positions in the first place, and as such don't have the clout to receive funding from their company. You'll also find in North America that the value of an MBA is quite debatable overall.
