The ones in the FT ranking are excellent. The Ilinois IMBA will presumably be there pretty soon.

Check out UNC Kenan-Flagler's online MBA as well, it's been around for a long time and is well regarded.

IU Kelley's program, as well - that's ranked in the FT and has a strong reputation.

But the program that Duncan mentioned, from Illinois, is a great value for what it offers.

What are your goals?

Thanks for the info. My goals are, in the short term to learn more about business aspects such as finance and operations management. I come from a marketing background so I need to round out the rest of my business knowledge.

More long term, I'm married to somebody who works in the government, in an International relations role - and there's a very good chance we will move to Europe in the next few years. So I'd like to be with a school that is well known internationally so I have a better chance of getting a job down the road.

Why not a program based in Europe? I think IE or Warwick might be worth considering, if you are going to Europe.

Because it's not for certain we're moving to Europe yet.

No idea what you consider affordable. How about
University of Florida,
Harvard Extension,
or better yet: Kelley-Manchester is a combination university of Indianna + university of Manchester, that's good reputation on both sides of the ocean

Thanks, I didn't even realize that Manchester had an online MBA.

Guys I found that Louisiana State University in Shreveport offers an Online MBA for around $12,500. It is AACSB accredited. There's also Arkansas State University and West Chester which also offer Online MBAs (also AACSB accredited) for a bit more.

Please advise: which would be the best option?

Best choices depend on goals. Since the Illinois MBA is around 20000 I don't see a big advantage in a no name regional school over a ranked and respected Big Ten university.

Thanks, yes I will look more closely at this one.

That Illinois program looks really interesting.
