"Any concerns about the real value of an online degree belong to the past," Value Colleges Editor Carrie Sealey-Morris reports. "Reputable, world-class institutions are offering online MBA's that have the same quality as their traditional, on-campus degree program. While some students may be concerned about lack of contact with their classmates, many of the best schools, such as those on this list, have developed innovative ways to combat the limitations of older online methods by using cohort formats, connecting students with one-on-one advisors or mentors, and providing opportunities for students to engage in the kind of networking and relationship-building that traditional MBA programs excel in."
Value Colleges is an independent, online resource with one mission: to help prospective students find the best educational value in their chosen field. At Value Colleges future students can find rankings for the top investments in online and residential college degrees, advice on making the best decisions about finances when in college, and explanations of commonly-misunderstood aspects of college costs.
