What is the total cost of this program? Based on some other post is it around 40K or less?

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.

Some sort of spammer that searches for "online mba" on all websites and automatically posts a link to the Thunderbird "mba" program. RA'd

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


If you are mature and fairly polished already, will perspective employers know the difference?

I'm assuming you get access to LSU MBA recruiting infrastructure.

Edit...why was this thread bumped?

If you have to come out of your own pocket for it, an MBA is a waste of money. I would only do it if your company foots the bill.

Extremely short-sighted opinion. Paid for my own - started and continue to make a higher salary than I ever would have with an undergrad. Perhaps I'm the exception, but I don't think so.

I thought the point of a MBA was to network?


Some people just need it to check a box for a promotion.
