Online MBAs Making the Grade

A few months ago, I asked if Master of Business Administration degrees are worthwhile. The conversation that ensued began to focus primarily on those MBAs of the online variety, one of which I am currently pursuing at mostly my company’s expense.

Business Week has also evaluated the merits of an MBA from an online program. Their conclusion seems to be very favorable taking into account growing popularity of these programs while warning against fraud and corporate skeptics.

The article mentions four things to look for when selecting an online MBA program: accreditation, interaction, resources and support, and cost.
