Good news for women who are looking for part-time MBA programs while they’re raising their kids, reports the Wall Street Journal’s Sue Shellenbarger. Some MBA programs which don’t require full-time hours are cropping up around the country and, as a result, more women are earning advanced degrees, she reported.

“At least three schools have started part-time ‘morning M.B.A.s’ in the past year, to appeal to at-home mothers, self-employed people or others working odd schedules. (Most part-time M.B.A. programs have only evening or weekend classes.)” Shellenbarger wrote. “More than half of the 83 part-time M.B.A. students taking morning classes at DePaul University's Kellstadt Graduate School, Chicago, are women.” (August 2008)
