Thank you to everyone who actively contributes to BTG...I'm new to MBA programs and this website, and am taking my GMAT 8/30. I have a few general questions about 100% MBA programs (or close to 100%). I currently work for a large public company that supplies personal care ingredients to companies like Unilever, P&G, Estee Lauder, etc. My ultimate goal is to get a top of the line management job in a large public supply company like my own; I've heard that most require MBA's from AACSB schools.

1. What are some of the best 100% online programs available? Do you have any links that specifically list the programs by reputation? Most links I follow lead to sites that list schools which aren't completely online (not counting schools that make you report once or twice per semester). I also realize brick and mortar schools are the best route to follow, but I'm highly compensated to spend a LOT of time growing my business while flying around the country 25 weeks a year.

2. Any general advice on selecting an online MBA program?

3. Has anyone had great success with an online MBA degree? Any horror stories for AACSB online schools?


My profile: 7 Years work experience with a very "full resume" / Managed several multi-million dollar territories in multiple industries / Extensive sales and marketing experience with a great track record / management experience (began a couple of months ago) / Very involved with all aspects of the business (EBITDA targets, exclusivity deals with public companies, regulatory, logistics) / 3.0 GPA Biochemistry

Thank you!
