Re:Online MBA Question 1 Year, 9 Months ago

Good point. Miss Shona, about Argosy. I agree -- Argosy was one of the first regionally accredited universities to offer distance learning doctorates in education so academics, in my experience, are aware of this college at the PhD level.

Hello Chris!

Well none of these particular MBA programs are AACSB accredited; although Ashford's MBA program is accredited by the IACBE; which also accredits the MBA programs at schools like Florida Institute of Technology and Seton Hill University.

I noticed that all of the schools that you listed follow the proprietary (for-profit) educational model. Personally, I do not consider for-profit colleges inferior by default. However the opinions of these degrees have a wide variance; with the majority seeming to lean to the 'negative' side. Also I find it difficult to get an unbiased assessment of these programs because they do give so much attention to slick marketing efforts.

Getting back to your situation, is there a particular reason why you are looking at this particular pool of schools (i.e., you've already been accepted into the programs)? The reasons for pursuing an MBA are endless. I it good to consider these programs for convenience and specializations; especially if you are looking to add an MBA to your current professional portfolio instead of trying to make a career change or reposition yourself for new opportunities. I say this because of the issue of public perception first and foremost (and it was a point that you mentioned).

If you want to share more information regarding your school selection and your long-term professional goals, that would be helpful. For example, are you looking for programs that don't require the GMAT? Or programs where you can specialize in Human Resources? Etc., etc.

But based on what you shared so far, I would narrow the choices to Ashford and Argosy. Ashford, because of the IACBE accreditation; and Argosy because I know of professors at my university (Florida Gulf Coast University) who earned their PhD degrees from Argosy (although not in business). Since they have been hired by a public state university as full-time professors, Argosy probably has a pretty good reputation among the academic community at least.

Kate, Are you looking at a specific school, or are you interested in learning how to identify diploma mills in general? If you have a specific school in mind, The "Diploma Mill Police" here at GetEducated.com (www.geteducated.com/diploma-mill-police) can be a big help in getting to the bottom of things.

Hi, Thanks for your help. Actually I am planning to take admission into mba programs but i am unable to decide what to choose an online course or a regular course. These diploma mill ideas may help me to choose a college wisely.

Hi Preetisoft, Can you tell us what the names of the colleges are that you gave abbreviations for and why you think these are good schools for a MBA?
