Online Universities

[lovespink88]

I'm considering getting an MBA. Glad I came here because this thread has been useful! I haven't read through the whole thing, but I will. So far I'm glad to see that online degrees from a reputable school are not frowned upon.

I am thinking about doing it online, mainly because I'm not crazy about any of the schools in my area...

Which I guess brings me too much question...

Would it be advantageous to pursue an MBA in person at an unknown program? Or to pursue an online degree from a top ranked program such as one of these? http://www.usnews.com/education/onli...n/mba/rankings

(Also, reason 193847298374293784 why I miss Chicago...so many more school options).

This is just me but, I would much rather an online degree from a reputable school than an in-person degree from a no-name school. At the end of the day, it's what you put on the top of your resume/ CV that can make or break you in an interview. I'd sooner hire someone with an online degree from well-known university over someone who attended classes at a rinky-dink no-name school.
