I'm in a traditional MBA program right now as well. Unfortunately, due to lots of business travel, I will have to switch to an Exec MBA or MBA online. There are many fine online programs that are AACSB accredited. Check out this website to help you choose Online Colleges & Universities - Online Degrees - Online College Courses. Also check out AACSB's website as a crosscheck on accreditation (
AACSB International-The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business).
I am looking into a few online programs and have not made up my mind yet. I am fortunate that my employer will subsidize my education to the tune of $8k annually. However, I have 18 credit hours to transfer but most will only take 9 units max. The programs that have piqued my interest are Northeastern, Quinnipiac, University of Scranton, Lehigh and Drexel. My reasons are purely financial; I want to receive a quality education with the least out-of-pocket expense.
I don't need the MBA for career advancement. I found that out last week when I tried to resign my current sales position for another sales gig. My manager wouldn't accept my resignation and have instead opened doors for me for advancement and recognition. The MBA is for personal fulfillment - plus I'm a glutton for punishment.
