Quoted from drsfmd:That's going to make an MBA challenging. Taking a "real" MBA program is going to require courses in Finance, Statistics, and Economics. The watered-down programs may not require those things, but their degree will be much less valuable to you. *Where* you take the degree is just as important-- if not more important-- than the letters you get to put after your name. A degree from generic-state-university is more valuable than a degree from online-institution-no-one-has-heard-of.
I agree with what drsfmd said here. I'd also like to add that if you go for an MBA, check to see if the school is accredited. If it's not accredited (like Strayer isn't) then all you receive is a very expensive diploma that won't mean anything to an employer. Hint: If they offer you credits for work experience then: they aren't accredited, and your degree will be meaningless.
Not every state college MBA is valuable. Here in Atlanta there are four state school MBA programs; Univ of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kennesaw State and Georgia State. The first three are respected, but the last is not as it's very easy to get into and you don't learn much in the program.
Some private online only universities have been started in the last ten years that have names that sound like state universities, but they're private, they're really easy programs and aren't accredited. It's unfortunate because their are legitimate state university programs that have added strong accredited MBA programs.
