A PEEK Is All It Takes: HBS’s Innovative Initiative to Woo Women
This post has been republished in its entirety from original source clearadmit.com.
For Priyanka Krishnamoorthy, a 2015 Mt. Holyoke graduate working in investment banking at Bank of America, a recent weekend at Harvard Business School (HBS) helped set her sights on pursuing an MBA. The Sri Lankan native majored in economics and minored in math and had been thinking about business school for a while. She originally read about PEEK—an innovative weekend program HBS debuted last month for students from women’s colleges—in an article in the paper. She decided to apply after attending an information session HBS held at neighboring Smith College. “They pitched it really well as a way to see what HBS is like,” she recalls. “On campus you hear a lot about PhD programs and law school, but not about business school.”
For Krishnamoorthy, the highlight of the weekend was getting to meet current HBS students and alumnae and hearing about the decisions they made both before and after business school. Just a few weeks into her own first job, she found their choices really eye-opening. “I thought there was a set path to it, but they all said, ‘No, you can come from anywhere.’” She was encouraged multiple times throughout the weekend to think of the MBA more as a master’s in leadership than a master’s in business administration.

How to Choose Between Full-Time and Part-Time MBA Programs
When deciding to return to school for an MBA, students have many options to consider. While deciding which school to attend is the main decision, choosing what kind of program to complete is also a significant hurdle. Not all schools provide full-time working students with the flexibility to schedule around their work week. Some programs only offer classes during the day, which can conflict with a working student’s schedule, while others offer classes at night, which may be easier for working students to complete.
The decision to complete the MBA in a part-time or full-time format can determine when and where you will attend business school, the overall cost of returning to school and the time it will take you to complete the program. It is important to decide what kind of schedule fits best with your personal obligations as well as your current work commitments. Deciding what kind of program to complete can determine your final decision on where to attend business school.
