Online MBA programs are fine if they are offered by reputable schools. Many AACSB accredited MBA schools now offer online programs, and if you cannot attend classes on campus, the online program is an acceptable alternative. Many less reputable schools, not accredited by the AACSB offer online MBA programs that don’t have good reputations, and their graduates often have problems getting jobs after graduation. You have to choose the program carefully.
