Hi,
I think this is a question which i have been intrigued by in the recent time.
Is a classroom MBA worth the money, and is an online MBA worth spending the time?
I am trying to find the pros and cons of both formats of the MBAs.
Can any experienced members or MBA students shed some light on this question?
And a bit of myself goes here......
I have done my Engineering from a University, and have been working in the IT industry in the technical domain, majorly, for the last 10 years.
I work in an ERP product, so my technology caters to general business of companies.
I myself straddle both technical and business areas of the product in day to day job.
And i want to do an MBA as a platform to train myself to get the career boost i want.

Hi sbmba,
You'll learn the same things in an online MBA that you would in a classroom MBA - it's just the "delivery medium" that will be different. Businesses that hire MBAs understand this, so you don't have to worry about the 'format' your MBA comes in.
When considering which Business Schools to apply to, you really have to think about your "big picture" plans, so that you can make sure the MBA matches. To that end, here are some things to consider:
1) What do you want your MBA to do for you?
2) Is there are particular field or company that you want to work in/for?
3) What type of career path do you want to be on? What do you want to be doing in 5 years? 10 years?
4) Do want to go to School full-time or work while you're in School?
Then there are all of the financial considerations (cost, whether you'll relocate or not and those costs, whether you'll be applying for scholarships, etc.). These are all big questions, but only YOU can answer them. Put in the necessary thought and research and you'll come up with the right answer.

Another consideration is the network you develop in business school. I don't remember much of what I learned in B-school, but I'm still very connected to my classmates. More of my success post MBA is due to the network I formed than the classes I took.
