Company looks like they will half pay for the program where I choose to attend.

LSU is convenient but do not know anybody who has attended. I remember undergrad in early 00s when they were feeding students every Friday it seemed CEBA (forever CEBA).

Are there any major differences in regular track vs. Executive? Seems reasonably priced in the 50s for the entire program considering others. I looked into Tulane and they were near 100k.

I went through it two years ago. The classes are taught by the same professors as FT. It’s not that hard if you pay attention for the two classes then do the class work the following Sunday.

Our group had a few stand outs and a few anchors. Our guy group is real tight.
The people in the class make the difference because you leverage professional experience more so than theory/textbook. I’ve heard it’s a coin flip on people because our class was solid but the next group were some duds - lot of lone rangers which isn’t what the program is made for.
The program director is awesome too. They are revamping the program as we had a few comments about two of the professors.

I did my first Masters at a school in DC and we had a good group. It’s such a transient area though, we are all spread out throughout the country. I was hoping by going to LSU it would help build a more local/regional network.

Are there any major benefits to the Executive track except just weekends? I understand same professors.

This is the differentiating factor. If you're keen to stay in the "SEC" LSU would be a better choice. Not to mention - student ticket pricing for two years, which we did not take full advantage of

Because you've been through grad school already, I'd lean exec program.
Your classmates will be on similar career paths and bring new perspective. I want to say our age group was late 20s to late 40s and everyone brought something to the table.
In the professional you would be leading majority of those discussions and probably leave wanting more.

Set a meeting with the program director. He is a solid bloke with his finger on the pulse of the program and is very open to dialogue on how to improve.
