I am looking to do my MBA and have been thinking of just going back to the same business school I did my BA in. I went to the University of Buffalo and it ranks in the top 50business schools in the US by Forbes. Should I do that instead of an online degree?
If you have an MBA how did you do it? Where did you go? and did it help you in career advancement?
I had a BA in Business concentrating in MIS and currently work in IT as an applications support analyst/help desk.

Some programs are absolutely outstanding. Others are the bottom of the pile. There are places like Duke U. doing their MBA online and that MBA has much more value than one from say, Eastern Yourstate State College in the classroom.
The thing is, online at a quality school is really hard. There’s a lot of writing to do and you don’t get the 1:1 time with the instructor. You have to be a top-notch manager of time to do well in these programs.
The best advice, attend the best school you can get into (online or classroom) and do the best quality work you are able while there.

You can order a Bachelor of Science or Arts on line I’m sure. But going to a college with a good name is my thing.

Online degrees are for people with disability and old people.

I say it depends on your learning style. In order to do it online, you must be well disciplined in setting your priorities, sitting down to study, doing homework/projects.
For me, an online degree wouldn’t work. I’m a huge procrastinator, have 3 kids in school which means parent guided homework and it just plain doesn’t keep my interest. I like the classroom setting.
I do have an instructor who’s using Univ of Phoenix for his Masters.
