I know there is some debate about the merits of online programs, but I believe they can work very well for situations like mine, in which I travel frequently for work and am advancing through a large company. I recently applied to a bunch of programs and was struggling to narrow them down, so I started creating a spreadsheet ranking what was important to me (I'm a statistician and spreadsheets are my calling). Long story short, I ended up creating a website with a custom ranking of online MBA programs that is actually useful, not the random facts U.S. News give you. The biggest difference is that I included an "easiness" ranking that estimates how much time and effort is required to earn your degree. This may seem counter-intuitive, but the easier the program, the more time you have to focus on continuing to excel in your day job, which is the most important criteria for advancement within a company. Also, you might even have time to have fun once in a while :)

So here it is in case anyone else is looking at online MBA programs:
easyonlinemba.com

Please let me know if you have any ideas to add to the rankings. Hopefully this can be a useful resource for any future online MBA students. By the way, I ended up choosing the University of Arizona (Eller) program, so please feel free to ask any questions about that or any of the many other programs I looked into, basically the top 20 on my rankings.

If you check nowdays coursera offers online MBAs as well

I wish I found this years ago. I picked a school that was local to me that ended up changing their graduation requirements twice since I started the program. Realistically I'm finding employers just want to see the 3 letters, not really giving much weight to the school outside of the ELITES.

One of my fellow students summed this requirement up nicely:

"Look, I don't want this degree and don't need it, but i have to have one to get promoted... it's a means to an end. So if a mugger puts a gun to my face and demands my wallet, and I give it to him, I'm not proud because I had no choice"
