During the 1980s and 1990s MBAs began to be specialized. MBAs were offered for specific areas such as non-profit making organizations, or for people who were working in finance, marketing or information systems. There was also a move to offer distance learning MBAs for executives who needed to update their qualifications but who would not be able to take the time out to study full time or in the classroom.
This move quickly developed into today's online MBA. The advent of cheap, readily available computing power plus the ability to be connected via the internet meant that most executives had the tools to study an MBA online by virtue of their jobs. Now an MBA is almost compulsory if you are going to progress in management, and so easy to study for that you would be foolish not to take advantage of the myriad opportunities to get qualified.
