Are Expensive Online Colleges Better Than Cheap Ones?

Questions & Answers About Online Education > Online Education Financial Aid
By Vicky Phillips, Chief Education Analyst

Question: I’m searching for an online bachelor’s in business or management. But no two online colleges charge the same cost for this degree. One school can charge $50,000 more for what looks like the very same distance degree to me. Is an expensive online college better than a cheap one? {{ad91}} —Rayette, Boise, Idaho Answer: There is no relationship between cost and quality in online education. Paying more won’t get you “more” of an education, nor will it necessarily buy you an academically better degree. The cost—and therefore affordability—of any online degree is a function of four factors. It may surprise you to learn that none of these is correlated with educational quality.

Question: I attended college twelve years ago and dropped out. I finished three years of college toward my four-year bachelor’s degree in business. Can I transfer all these old credits toward a new online degree? —Tom, Maryland Answer: Your old course credits will have to "fit" into any new college's degree structure. Because no two colleges have identical degree requirements, the transfer process rarely results in a perfect fit. But you’re smart to ask about transfer credits. Losing credits in transfer is like losing your wallet. If you paid $150 per credit for your old courses—a modest price—and you lose fifteen credits when you transfer to a new college, you’ve lost $2,250.{{ad85}} Five issues can affect your transfer credit standing. Before you enroll in any online college scrutinize each school’s policies on these issues.

Questions & Answers About Online Education > Online MBA
By Vicky Phillips, Chief Education Analyst

Question: I’d like to earn an online MBA, but most seem to require the GMAT. I need a program with NO GMAT required. I’m VP of marketing in the real world, but my GMAT scores stink. Nothing I’ve done, including an expensive test prep program, has raised my scores. Can you suggest any top online MBA that does not require this exam or that other pesky exam, the GRE? —Jack Ticonderoga, NY Answer: Low scores on the GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test) or GRE (Graduate Record Exam) hurt a lot of older business school applicants. Fortunately, a legion of reputable distance business schools offer the online MBA with NO GMAT required for admission these days.

Question: Are there any top-ranked online MBA degree programs in the USA? I travel for a living. I’d like to earn my MBA online because it’s virtually impossible for me to be in town attending class every week for 16 consecutive weeks. But I’m afraid employers won’t accept a distance degree. I work as an executive in a competitive career field: healthcare. I’ll be working in a major metropolitan area (NYC) for the rest of my career and eventually want to open my own business. Can you recommend even one top business school that offers a distance MBA degree? —Joan Lundlin Rochester, New York Answer: We can do better than just one suggestion. The Ivy League has gone Cyber League, and several top business schools offer distance or online MBA degrees these days.
