It varies based on what you want to achieve. An executive MBA is designed especially for working professionals who want to keep working while studying, in an executive MBA you do not have to quit your job to earn a degree while a full-time MBA is for students who want to focus solely on their studies. However, an executive MBA is as good as a full-time MBA program.

Yes, an executive MBA is as good as a full-time MBA. This option is primarily for working professionals who want to get an MBA without a career break. This option also provides an upper hand to professionals, since they can earn an MBA flexibly, from top institutions, and continue working. Even job recruiters value an executive MBA as much as a regular MBA. 

However, if you have the time, budget, and other resources to pursue a regular MBA, you can opt for that.

As for job prospects, both have equal value as the difference between each of them is the duration and the mode of delivery that depends on each university/institution. Generally, if a working professional wants to do an MBA without quitting the job, pursuing an executive MBA is the ideal program as it could scale his/her career.


If the student wants a proper campus experience and can afford to take a career break for the full-time experience, a regular MBA is a preferred option.

Executive MBA (EMBA) and full-time MBA are similar in terms of the core business education, and both are admired degrees, however, they have different target groups and career objectives. EMBA is oriented to working professionals and is aimed at advanced leadership skills training and networking with other alumni with extensive work experience. In contrast, full-time MBA is more immersive and is normally suited to early- to mid-career professionals or individuals wishing to switch careers and can afford closer involvement with the campus and specialization.
