A good friend of mine is just coming to the end of his MBA course at a front line school. He tells me that it has been the most productive year of his life - and this is from a person who had a double first in physics.
He has not only enjoyed and profited from the online course work that he has completed, he has benefited from the week long group blocks. He says that the networking opportunities were unparalleled, and are already making a difference to his business. He has been introduced to funding bodies, and has had his business case reviewed by his professors with considerable impact.
He maintains that the fees that he has paid, although fairly large, will be covered by increased profits in ten months. After that, he's free and clear, and looking forward to an extremely lucrative period for his business which he says will be directly attributable to the online MBA program.
