Coming from an MBA with experience as a hiring manager, your statements carry weight with me. Your opinion is one that I have heard time and again in regard to hiring MBAs - especially new MBAs. I know several people who have received distance MBAs, but the majority of those I know who have gone the distance learning route have done so primarily for their own knowledge, and not necessarily to change careers or try to make huge financial gains from it. I believe each program has its benefits, but there are also certain limits as well - especially when it comes to the type of post MBA work one is considering. Thanks for sharing.

I would like to point out that as a hiring manager and as someone who holds an MBA, I would not even consider hiring someone that has a so called "distance learning" MBA. Maybe that is too harsh a statement - what I mean is that I would not consider their "MBA" to be part of their qualifications. I dare say that I am in the majority of hiring managers on this one.

Distance programs require students to have a certain amount of drive and understanding of technology and I think recruiters and hiring managers understand that. But, for the reasons you mentioned above, I think in-residence programs will remain the highest regarded method for completing an MBA program. I think you’re right, Dong.

I definitley don't think we're there yet, especially when it comes to MBA programs. While I don't have a MBA myself, I have a number of friends who do, and my impression is that MBA programs are all about 1) reputation/corporate recruiting opportunties 2)the networking, and very little about what you actually learn.
