As far as I know, these are the top 4 online MBA's connected to real American campuses.
Arizona State University

http://www.floridamba.ufl.edu/FutureStu ... ternet.aspAll four of these schools require GMAT scores and carry the same accreditation as their main campuses. However, there has been a lot of discussion as to what school will be listed on your transcript when you graduate. I believe that ASU awards the same diploma and transcripts for all MBA programs. Each school has its unique benefits, but the total cost averages roughly $50k at all four programs.
Major differences between Online MBA and Part-Time classroom MBA:
-Fewer units in online program (faster completion)
-No electives in online program/no concentration(s) (true for MOST schools, but not all)
Here's a blog by a guy that applied to many of the programs listed above, matriculated at ASU, and has since graduated:

Full-time > Part-Time > Online. Of course, it depends on what your career goals are
Best of luck!
