I think at this point, the stigma associated with online MBAs, med schools, law schools, etc are so negative that it is likely to do more harm than good. I would strongly reconsider.

I dont get how they got AASCB accreditation for their online programs since one can actually hire someone to do his exams and coursework online.

This is gonna deflate their reputation and AASCB in general.

I guess this is another reason why school's solely reputation matters and why we have rankings

I think its fine if the MBA is needed to check a box whilst you are advancing within the same company and you have no plans to switch company. A few people in my previous company did this and it was fine. Just make sure the online degree is from a recognised institution.

I think the stigma associated with any program that purports to teach medicine online would be well-deserved! :-) Online MBA or even law degree I could understand, for people with specific needs from those programs, but I doubt we will ever see online MDs.
