Both, really. I don't consider U of P a real MBA program, since it's not accredited by a major governing body. Honestly, it seems like a joke to me.
UT actually doesn't have an online MBA; you'll find that most business schools in the top 20-50 won't even bother with an online MBA. Some may or may not offer individual classes online, but since I didn't consider online MBAs, I don't really know.
So much about getting an MBA is about networking and collaborating with your cohort. Most people I know who did traditional full-time, executive, and evening MBAs say that the interaction with your professors, classmates, and guest lecturers was the single most important thing about their educations. Part of the reason you pursue higher education is access--to more money, to different perspectives, you name it. I don't exactly know what you're accessing if all you're doing is logging on.
