Early Career MBAs

Hello! I’ve recently started looking into MBA programs that are designed specifically for recent college grads (no work experience required). Specifically the ones that I’ve come across so far are Willamette’s early career mba program and Northeastern’s MBA/MS in accounting. I was wondering if anyone has any perspective as to how useful these (or similar) programs are professionally?

I was looking for a job initially, but then the economy crashed, and jobs that I was interviewing for suddenly became nonexistent. My thought process about getting an MBA now is that it might be more worth my time to get a degree than to work for a few years in a job that I’m not really passionate about. Initially I wasn’t looking to continue school right after undergrad though.

I don’t have any full time work experience, but I will have nearly 3 years of part time (25-30 hours/week) management experience by the time I graduate.

Does anyone know of any similar programs, or have any thoughts about the various pros/cons?

Thanks!!
