Do you have any personal experience good or bad with a particular university?

Answer 1

Go to http://www.geteducated.com They have all the information you need for all  traditional and online programs and universities. They also include a handy free reference guide to online schools that offer regionally accredited MBA programs. Make sure the online school that you choose is accredited and not a "diploma mill". They have a list of all on-line accredited schools and a watchlist of those that are not. Good luck!

Answer 2

University of Phoenix Online.  I only got my B.S. in Accounting from there but I would go back and get my MBA from them.  They are very well organized.  They set you up with a schedule in advanced and they just send you a new class every 4 - 6 weeks depending on how long each individual class is.   I had a great experience.  It was nice, because you had an actual instructor that you could email or contact, and they would provide you with a lecture for the week, classroom discussions (it's set up as a newsgroup that only people enrolled in the class have access to), you also have small group assignments which are good and bad, most of the classes were pretty small too most ever that I had in class were like 35 students.   I really don't have any negative comments on this school and online program.

Good luck.
