NYU Part-Time vs. Columbia Executive MBA
If you had to keep your day job in Manhattan while pursuing an MBA, which one of these programs is better if your goal is to end up working at a hedge fund or bank in the NY area?
Columbia EMBA, without a doubt. Not only for the ivy-factor, but for the scheduling factor as well. EMBA schedules are more manageable with working full time, if you ask me.
Without having been to business school, one thought I'd have is that I've heard EMBA recruiting is very limited, as most students are expecting to return to their current employers (who are also frequently paying for the EMBA), so the schools are hesitant to cause bad blood by helping another firm steal them.
I don't have much in the way of insight on the pros and cons of NYU v Columbia for you, though Columbia is obviously great if you are looking for hedge funds (value investing in particular). One other program you could consider would be TRIUM - you'd only be out of the city for six weeks, which might be manageable.
don't know columbia's program well, but part-time with nyu does not give you OCR benefits.
Does anyone know where I can find information about an Executive MBA program in Austin or Dallas? I can find a lot of information on an EMBA program up north (NYU, Columbia...) but I'd like to find some information around the southern part of the US!

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I am curious as well.
If you want to stay at your current firm, do a part-time. Otherwise, do the executive. For anyone who is trying to make a transition, a part-time MBA is virtually worthless and will be a gigantic waste of time and money.
Columbia EMBA for sure.
