I don't care where I get it, I just want to have the letters MBA on my business card.
I'm willing to put the time in and spend some money in the process. I need this to be as close to 100% online as possible and possibly get some credit for life experience. Anyone currently doing this???????????  THANKS!

If an institution wants to give you credit for life experience, you want nothing to do with them.

If you are asking this question you need to rethink your plan.
Can I ask, what is your education and experience prior to this? |

I'm not a whore, I just have life experience! |

Just put it on your card if that's all you care about.
If someone presses you about it, just tell them you thought it stood for "mega bad ass". |

Seriously do you put BA on your business card? Then why put an MBA? It's not a title and it makes you look like a douche in the business world. FYI having an MBA is not even remotely close to being a CPA or CFA. It's not a title! |

You got real advice in this thread so far--it's just that your stated plan is so stupid that it's hard to come up with a response stating anything but that obvious fact.

Most online programs require you to attend one semester on campus - or at least a couple of weeks.
University of Memphis has one that requires a week or two at the campus, but the rest is online. eta: it's a cash cow for most schools, you'll pay the most while learning the least, fwiw. eta2: do you have an undergrad degree? an MBA is a master's degree. I had a boss who did not have a bachelor's degree, but he thought he could just go and get an MBA. |

Having MBA on your business card is like a lawyer wanting to be called doctor - not cool at all.
If you need an MBA to advance in your career, take the classes and get a legit one. |

My son is finishing his MBA up at the University of Utah. It has taken him two years and about 45K in tuition. He is in the program where he works at his financial institution during the day them works on homework or attends class at the University. His undergraduate degree was in economics.
He says non accredited schools are a joke in the MBA program. The only truly accredited online University by the Department of Education is Western Governors University here in Utah. It is a experimental program run by the state of Utah and the Department of Education. http://www.wgu.edu/?utm_source=591 http://www.wgu.edu/about_WGU/accreditation |

I would suggest American Military University / American Public University. 100% online (lots of guys serving overseas and stuff taking classes, so it has to be!). I'm getting my MA in Security Management from there. It's been a pretty good experience overall, and the cost is waaaay less than your University of Pheonix-type places. |

Ashford University has a 100% online degree program. Its certainly not "easy" nor a degree factory. You will have to participate in online guided discussions and still write research papers as well as smaller assignments. Its easy in the sense that you can see all of your upcoming assignments and classes well in advance so you can prepare. Don't expect to just login in and pass though, you will still have to exert time and effort.

They have cracked down on the discussions. "I agree" wont count, and if you post all of your discussions at once, it's only half credit. I generally see what the majority opinion is, then start posting the opposite viewpoint. Makes for some discussions, and the professors seem to like the devil's advocate. At OP: why not just go to your undergrad university and see if they have an MBA program? |

There are so many better options. So many name brand schools that offer online degrees...often much cheaper. You can get your online MBA at Ashford or, say someplace like a satellite Texas A&M or Mississippi State....which one of those is someone going to be wearing a T-shirt of at the gym, UoP or a real State University? |

Walden University is an accredited online college. They have been doing distance degrees since the 70's. I did my MHA with them. I wouldn't say it was easy. I had 20+ hours a week into it, graduated with a 4.0. 10x harder than my BS. Took me two years, about $20K. My credits are 100% transferrable should I ever decide to pursue another degree.
University of Utah has a fully online MBA program. I believe Western Governor's allows you to test out of classes based on your current knowledge and experience. No idea the perception people have when they see that on your resume though. |
