UIUC (Illinois) iMBA - is there a gotcha?

[Kjnova]

Thanks - I am far from a traditional fresh graduate - I am 53 with lots of work experience. But I'm still interested in the iMSM, because there doesn't seem to be a downside to it, if I understand it right. You can still get the MBA in the same amount of time, if you choose to do so, but meantime, you get a MSM halfway through. What's not to like, especially if it has the same performance-based admissions concept?

An MSM may be enough of a credential, anyway, especially from somewhere like Illinois.

I am not in position to do any master's program yet, but when I am, this is definitely a path I will consider seriously. Thanks for the additional info!
