I have completed my grad in computers and looking to start with MBA in the same stream. Can anybody suggest me what are the job opportunities in this field? Is there any credibility if I pursue this degree online or shall I look for land based classes only? Which one is better? Please help me.

Personally I feel online is pure waste, MBA is all about networking and live interaction with fellow classmates. Since you want to continue MBA in the same field as your udergrad the better option would be part-time mba in some premier school. The admissions are easier to get in and you will have brand value too and since it is not a change of occupation you will gain the management skills needed without loosing your pay for two years.

The other option is you can look for hybrid programs. In this you have an opportunity to attend practical classes for some specific subjects for which hybrid programs are made for. Otherwise complete online course are not that bad, even employers look towards these courses respectfully. Rest depends on the program that suits you much.

Due to some personal reasons I can't commute for regular classes. So would prefer for online education only. Kindly suggest me how to go about it.

The University of Florida has the #1 Internet MBA program as reated by the economist (their traditional program is ranked #37). The program tries to give you as much of the expirience of a residential program as possible. The lectures are presented via video from the traditional MBA professors. The classes are divided into cohorts, so you get a similar team expirience as the traditional students get (you just have to figure out how to coordinate with folks across the country). It also requires you show up at Gainesville for finals and orientation to the next term. The internet MBA is also indistinguishable from a traditional MBA in terms of your transcript (nothing is denoted as internet), although you cannot do a concentration with the internet MBA.

I'm a Naval Officer and wanted to earn an MBA during my shore tour. I am unable to do a traditional program while performing my duties and the only executive/professional programs in my area have zero respect. I was accepted to UF's 2 year Internet MBA program last Friday, and I'm convinced its the best fit for my needs.
