Is there an area of this thread or perhaps a different thread altogether comparing/contrasting the LSUS MBA against the LSU Flores Online MBA program?

You're just going to have to do that comparison yourself but maybe I can help a little. (Discussions of other MBA programs are peppered throughout this thread but it's 99% about LSUS.)

Several of my teammates at work and my boss have completed the LSU Flores MBA program, though not the online one. They all did the on campus version. From what they've told me, it was an overall good experience but there were some courses / professors that were duds, which I believe you'll likely find with any program, including LSUS.

I know that the online LSU Flores MBA is much younger than the online LSUS MBA and I think this is reflected in the more limited elective choices. The LSUS program allows you to tailor the program more based on what you are interested in pursuing. Despite that, you can see a lot of overlap in the various course concepts if you compare both sets of course descriptions. I've linked the LSU Flores course list below and 3 LSUS concentrations, but there are others besides these.

Online LSU FLores MBA Courses

Online LSUS MBA - General Business
Online LSUS MBA - Data Analytics
Online LSUS MBA - Finance

Having said all of that, I would argue that the LSU Flores MBA carries more clout / respect / etc. than the one from LSUS among certain audiences. However, I think that advantage dissipates once you get out of Louisiana and the surrounding areas. The question is whether that advantage applies to the job market you are interested in and whether the cost of that potential advantage is worth it. I'll note here that my boss and one of my teammates who got their MBA from LSU are still paying off their student loans and they've both been out of school for more than 3 years. I won't have any student loan debt when I graduate next Fall.
