B-school is all about networking, which is why I don't understand how one could get much out of an MBA program that was entirely online. That said, I'm a real school snob and I focus on national/international, and not regional, reputation--because you never know where you'll end up. Also, you'll want the strong alumni network of a top school.
My ex-boss got his MBA from the University of Phoenix but talks like he was at Wharton or HBS. LAME. I think it's unfair that my uncle (full-time MBA from a Top 20), one of my old boyfriends (executive MBA from an Ivy) and that clown can all say they have the same degree.
On the other hand, one of my friends is now getting his Executive MBA from Michigan's LA program--they meet once a month and his cohort is really close. It sounds amazing.
I guess an employer will know its an Executive MBA from the fact that there's no break in your employment for education.
