- I am currently ennrolled in the Evening Executive MBA (EEMBA) program at
- Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. One of my big beefs with the
- program is that, while it's essentially identical to the "full-time" MBA
- program (+/- a few electives), evening students are banned from using any
- of the school's placement or recruiting services, including job fairs,
- information seminars, corporate information binders, etc. Since many of
- the evening students receive partial or total reimbursement for tuition,
- the school doesn't want to piss off the corporate customers who send people
- through the program by finding them new jobs. However, there *are* those
- students who are footing the entire bill themselves (currently about 36K
- for 25 months). In my mind, there is no reason why these folks shouldn't
- have full access to the school's placement services.
-
- All of that is a long-winded way of saying I'm very much in favor of
- anything that might put students and companies in contact by circumventing
- the more traditional "recruiting" relationship between companies and schools.
-
- I'll be interested in further postings on the subject. I'd also like to know
- if others have experienced a similar restriction on access to placement
- services.
