Despite decades of progress, women still account for only one-third of full-time MBA students. Why aren't more women in business school?

The answer is complex, but as a Wall Street Journal article points out, a primary reason is that most people attend B-school in their late 20s—precisely when many women are settling down and planning families. This "biological collision" forces them to make difficult choices, and many don't choose career advancement over having children.

Fear not. If you're glued to "The Apprentice" and envision yourself a budding corporate mogul, but can't seem to fit an MBA into your schedule, you do have options. Many colleges and universities offer part-time programs that suit your needs. Here are a few particularly flexible examples:
