debdeepb34 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hi, I am on H1 visa. My wife is on H4. My wife wants to do an MBA and become Business Analyst. I am not sure what kind of MBA would be good for her. She has a Masters of Pharmacy from India and 6 months work experience in her line. Now most good MBA schools are not interested in profile like that. What I can find are a few colleges offering part time MBA programs with evening classes and some 30 - 40 credits for 1.5 - 2 years. Will the accreditation of the college she is studying from affect her education evaluation? Like if the college is NEASC or IACBE accredited but the course is part time will that be accepted as a credential good enough to clear educational evaluation? Link to comment
itsmeusa Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Online / Part-time / full-time doesn't matter when it comes for educational evaluation. What matters if that MBA program is accredited regionally or nationally. Also, the MBA degree certificate would not indicate whether it's part-time / online / full-time etc. They all look the same.

rahul412 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Will the accreditation of the college she is studying from affect her education evaluation? 100%. Accreditation plays a very major role here, a degree from non accredited university= toilet paper. Link to comment
Attorney_6 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 It is correct that accreditation is the main concern from an immigration perspective. It does not matter how a person completed the degree---full time, part time etc. On line/in person does not matter for an H4. The restrictions on the number of online classes apply to F1s. However, since people sometimes want to change to F1 and qualify for OPT, it may be important to verify that those qualifications can be met. Link to comment
