&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This week, in the ninth and final post in our Selecting Your   Target MBA Program series, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages   of accelerated MBA programs and stress the importance of choosing wisely   for your particular situation.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whether one is talking about Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT, Tuck,   Duke or any other top U.S. business school, the &lt;img style=&quot;float: right; border: 0pt none; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/dlimm/folders/Jing/media/958b3768-ad3b-442e-a7c1-e3e6a868df5b/2011-01-10_1344.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;183&quot; height=&quot;96&quot;&gt;typical MBA program   offered is actually fairly standardized&amp;mdash;two years of organized study and   an internship during the summer in between.
