That is really odd about the MBA program, although that is not the degree that I am pursuing. You did not make that clear in your post. I think that it is very unfortunate that your boss has that attitude. Perhaps, it's just the subject. But, like I said, those attitudes will change as the idea becomes more mainstream.
I worked for a Fortune 500 company straight out of college, and two of the mentors for my training program received degrees from UoP. So, I'm sure that not everyone feels the same way your employer does. I really cringe at the phrase 'diploma-mill'. You don't just take a few classes and get your degree! They have several pre-requisites for grades, work history, and class participation. Outside of that, I'm required to get finger-print clearance from my state for the teacher certification.
Sorry to have hijacked your thread, ThetaGrrl. UoP was the best choice for me and my lifestyle. Living in Germany didn't make things very easy to get into a more tradtional university program. I would just make a list of questions that you have, and call an advisor. Ask them all the questions, no matter how brutal/probing. That's what I did!
