The University of Idaho started an Executive MBA in partnership with some businesses up in Sandpoint where I work. The classes are hosted on our corporate campus. If you're not familiar with EMBA programs, you keep working but have class on a regular basis. We have class every two weeks for all day Friday and Saturday, so it's a full-time program compressed into four days a month, plus a lot of homework and case study in between. The nice thing is that the class has a lot more experience than the usual MBA class (most of my classmates are Director & VP level). My company is also helping pay for tuition. I considered going with a traditional MBA program but couldn't stomach taking two years off work and going into major debt and having to relocate. So this was a great opportunity to go back to school without having to totally disrupt our family life. Well, yes and no in the sense that I'm still working.
