Get your MBA online!

Jones International University is "the first fully online accredited university". Their MBA program looks to be fairly well structured, and I'm sure they'll do reasonably well, but personally, I really value the face-to-face and group discussion component of tertiary education. Online learning has it's place, but I'd rather spend $700 on a collection of good textbooks than pay for the right to put a couple of assignments together based on some assigned reading. For management and business education, I really feel that their is no alternative to the classroom - that's where the value is, that's why people pay upwards of US$50,000 to get their MBA education at a top-flight b-school.
