My goal is to earn an MBA with a focus in Human Resource Management, to complete it in 2 years or less, all online.

I know it won't be a breeze but I was wondering, are the courses difficult to complete on your own (I'm nervous)? Does the school offer enough support if you get stuck? How long are the courses, are they self-paced? Please share your experiences with graduate school.
I have been toiling over this too. One thing I discovered, is that a lot of colleges allow you to apply as a non-enrolled student and take X number of credits. This might be a really great way to take 1 class and see how well the college meets your expectations. If you are careful, you could take a class that seems to be similar in more than one program you are considering, and if worse came to worse you might be able to transfer it elsewhere. Otherwise, if you like it- then your fine!
Also, Penn State has an MBA online as well as a Master of Professional Studies in HR. Might be worth a glance. Penn State | Online Degrees, Online Courses, and Online Certificates offered by Penn State
