W&M Mason launching online MBA

This might be interesting to some:

William & Mary - Mason is launching an online MBA program starting next January. Well, mostly online - students go on campus once or twice a semester.

Might be good for DC-area folks, or even people who don't mind flying in for the residencies.

Mason has been offering an online EMBA program for the past couple years.

Well they are looking to get some cash flow in for their not doing so well MBA

It is a bit strange that a college with such historic settings like W&M has gone through a lot of up and down

I think their MBA is not doing great in the rankings because these MBA programs (second tier US b-schools) are very competitive. Just look at SMU Cox, which has been doing a lot to try to differentiate itself from the pack - it still lost a ton of ground this year in the BW rankings.

My fear with W&M's online MBA is that it's entering another crowded space - and if they're doing it for a quick buck, that's certainly the wrong approach.

Any more info on this program? January is coming up, and it doesn't seem like they even have a webpage for the program. I'd be interested to know how much it costs.
