Getting your degree without stepping foot on the campus isn't a new concept; as early as the nineteenth century, correspondence courses were a viable alternative to campus-based education. The advent of Internet though has pushed educational technologies to the point that there is little difference between a traditional degree and an online degree. In fact, it has become such a popular method of acquiring a degree more people are choosing to pursue an online MBA.
InterEd, a higher education research firm, predicted that enrollment in online MBA programs would explode from 5,000 students in 2000 to more than 50,000 in 2002. The boom in pursuing an online MBA isn't limited to American business schools, either. Many international colleges, like Cambridge University in England began offering an online MBA program in 2001.
