The first one is through an NCA-HLC accredited liberal arts college, that operates a brick and mortar campus about 30 miles from my home. The second one is through an AACSB accredited public university, that operates a brick and mortar campus about 375 miles away, also in my home state. I plan on staying in my home area for the foreseeable future, to pursue career opportunities. In this case, would one scenario trump the other? I realize AACSB accreditation is the &#8220;gold standard&#8221;, but is there an advantage to attending an online program that is closer to home? Your input would be greatly appreciated.
