How to list hybrid in-person/online MBA on resume? (JHU)
I’m about a year into the Flex MBA program at Johns Hopkins. Because of my unique work and travel schedule with the COVID environment, I have been able to take a combination of in-person classes (communications, negotiations, marketing) and online coursework (stuff like accounting). Should also note that I am not paying for the program.
I do not live near JHU and am in NYC. My family is located in the DMV. I’m currently updating my resume and I’m unsure how I should list this MBA? Is it necessary to point out that it is essentially a “Hybrid” MBA? Should I call out that it is Part-Time? I am worried about how employers will receive this degree if I try to leave my current firm since I’m not located near the school.
Unfortunately I don't have an answer to your question, but would be interested to hear how you are liking the JHU program. Seems like a solid option if you don't want to take a full 2-year vacation but still want the credentials?
I’ve been pleasantly surprised. A lot of my classmates are in NYC so the networking aspect has been better than I thought. Also, a few of the classes require a 3 day in-person session which gives you another opportunity to network. My classmates are in healthcare (physicians, corporate finance) and others are in finance, consulting, accounting. Coursework is standard for an MBA program.
I’m not looking to switch careers, but wanted a decent name on my resume so this works for me. I know it’s not a top program but based on the feedback I’ve received (largely LinkedIn messages from recruiters), nobody has questioned it yet and they’re just impressed with the Johns Hopkins name. I haven’t sought out any jobs yet so we’ll see how non-HR folks perceive the degree.
That's great to hear. One area that did intrigue me when I looked into the program briefly was the high number of international students (believe it was 60%+ when I looked?). From the outside, that would signal to me it's just a "pay to play" type program for affluent international students. Is that sentiment accurate or would you say it's more targeted towards domestic candidates pursuing career advancement opportunities?
Don't quote me on this but the Flex MBA is about 95% US citizens. The full-time MBA is basically full of rich international (Chinese) students that are paying full sticker. I would guess it's at least 60% international. I absolutely think the school is counting on rich international students to keep the program afloat. I'm not sure what the employment outcomes look like (the report is available online) but it's my understanding a lot of the international students go back to their home country and the domestic students haven't had too many problems landing decent jobs.
Grades are curved to a B+ average so it's really hard to fail, but I wouldn't say the Flex program is a "pay to play" kind of deal.
