Can you cite any objective research that “proves” that online MBAs are as good as the old-fashioned classroom? —Tammy, Wyoming Answer: Lots of educators have asked—and answered—this same question.

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.
