Has anyone here done this? I saw an advertisement yesterday for this, it appeared to cost just as much as an Executive/Professional MBA. If you get your MBA by going this route do you have to indicate this on future resumes or do you just go on as if you received your MBA by conventional means?

I helped design the program. Prepare your anus.

No, it's as good as a conventional MBA.

I thought the point of a MBA was to network?

Dont do an online MBA..

The benefit of networking is lost and most businesses do not work in "virtual teams" despite what some academics will tell you. Whats more, presenting via a video recording is not the same as presenting in front of a live audience. The real value in a good MBA program is what you learn from your classmates experiences. This still happens in an online environment, but not to the same degree as in a classroom environment.

I know people that have gone the online MBA route and it shows when they hit the job market. Go brick and mortar from an AACSB accredited institution and not from an online program.

MBA online?

An MBA is a soft degree as it is, so where is the added value online. MBA is all about networking and making connections.

To answer one of your other questions.

No. You don't have to indicate on resume that you got your degree online. A good hiring manager will figure out that if you are working in Atlanta and you got your MBA while you were working from LSU, then it was distance education.

You miss a lot of networking opportunities online, but your degree says Master of Business Administration, Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College just like it would if you were on campus.
