Hi all,
I am looking at some MBA options thru online or part-time (I am working so FT won't work for me)
Currently the following are the universities that offer either online or part time
Online:
Arizona - WP Carey
Indiana University - Kelley Direct
PennState Worldcampus
Univ. of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler
IE MBA - Spain (How is this compared to US MBAs?)
Part-time:
Univ. of Virginia, Darden
Please suggest any top ranked universities that are providing online MBA.
1. Which areas do you live near?
2. UVA doesn't have a part time MBA. Closest thing are the Executive MBA's which have a different process. I believe one program or maybe both of their options provide a varying amount of online classes.
If you live in the Richmond area (because you listed UVA), your best bets for a true part time MBA are the University of Richmond and Mason (William and Mary, not George Mason which is in Fairfax near DC) which I think are about equal in rep, though some publications have U of R ahead of Mason and others vice versa. But W&M has a better reputation than Richmond as an overall institution (both schools ride off the reputations of their undergrads) and you have true in state tuition because it is a public university. UVA doesn't do that with the business, medical, and law schools. But obviously, neither school is on the same level as UVA in terms of MBA reputation.
