There are some differences in studying for your MBA online versus at a traditional university.
As far as quality is concerned, online MBA’s are just as accepted as those from brick and mortar schools. The workload and quality vary from program to program, school to school, but distance education adheres to the same academic standards.
The curriculum in an online MBA program is more or less the same. The difference is in how it is delivered. Most online MBA classes require students to read advanced texts and respond with written assignments. In some cases there are video/audio lectures, interactive video-conferencing and use of other multimedia formats, but online education is dominated by reading and writing.
Even if the curriculum is the same, the student’s experience can be quite different. Online MBA students must be organized and able to work independently. Some classes will have a rigid schedule, but many allow some degree of flexibility. It’s important to know if you can motivate yourself to fit an online MBA into your family or work schedule.
