How are the brand, networking, and career change/recruiting components be missing if any MBA was taken online exclusively? You making it sound like people who have actually got the online MBA are not expose these components you mention.

Online education has come a long way to incorporate these elements regardless of being physically there. The future of business communications is virtual, to say the least. Businesses will do conference calls, conference videos, etc. to cut cost and save time for certain situations.

Networking can be done by virtually too by LinkedIn and various local events, which is dependent on your specialized industry.

Depending on the type of MBA that one has chosen, you can still do a career change of sorts, changing a career field is not changing the education you receive from the online MBA.

Do you have an MBA? If not, don't stir the pot. At least, I'm better my career instead of acting like a douche in a forum of giving advice.

For the price of $13,284*, make note that its based on this fall tuition prices, Fall 2015, for the LSUS campus, I think its a pretty good program for the price.

The stigma of online learning for the few that compare it to University of Phoenix or whatever, has not done the research enough to have an opinion on the matter. Online learning is the future. Especially for those that have real jobs, regardless if its full or part time. If its too good to be true, research it. More than likely it is but research the heck out of it.

I'm looking into the LSUS MBA program mainly because its somewhat local, affordable, and accredited by a major association, AACSB, that most firms believe is a great indicator of having a thorough, rigorous business education. I wish I could do LSU Online Flores MBA program, but at $1,046 per credit hour or roughly $3,138 per course, I don't think I put that much money in a program due to my financial resources. Sure I'll probably get a good ROI but I'm not considering getting loans of any type to fund myself going for my MBA.

On a side note, not everyone has time for a brick and mortar school due to their schedules or the thing that is called "life". This is where the premise of an online degree comes in. I'll find one that is the best for the money I can put into. Just because I'm partial on wanting to do a Online Flores MBA from LSU, I can't due to my financial resources. Its nice to have, but I've found something that is sufficient enough to guarantee my success in my career rather than having an elitist tendency/approach towards business education. I'm not just checking off a box, I'm securing my future.

The catch here is that these are accelerated classes at 7 weeks each. Trust me, I done online classes for a whole semester but 7 weeks is very different to maintain. So take that into account when looking into these programs.
