In Reply To: distance learning MBA's and how McK or other top consulting firms views these? Are they perceived as being worth much less than a traditional MBA done on campus or do they hold the same value?
Message: I was told by a recruiter that distance learning or online MBAs would not be a plus. MBAs are mostly useful for networking, teamwork, and brand (name recognition of program); you can't get any of these online. It might help with case interviews, but it's a very expensive way to prep for interviews.
