@shrekr, if you want to pursue a rather prestigious MBA program, you’ll need to look at the following:

•University of Michigan, Ross School of Business
•Carnegie Mellon University, Tepper School of Business
•University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Kenan-Flagler School of Business
•Georgetown University, McDonough School of Business
•University of Pennsylvania, The Wharton School
•University of California-Berkeley, Haas School of Business

There are a few more than offer Online MBA programs. Having said that, as you said, they will not provide you with the ROI as most all of those I listed above are running about $100K total.

If you do not want a prestigious brand on your resume, then I would go with the cheapest AACSB program you can find.
@ThatBankDude: Thank you for your response.
I want a prestigious brand (within a certain budget) on my resume and I am trying to figure out "how does one know which are the top 50 or 100 prestigious MBA schools?"
I though US News ranking determines if a school is prestigious or not. Let me know if I am barking the wrong tree.

For online MBAs with great prestige relative to cost, also check out Boston University Questrom and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Gies.

Hi Jonathan,
How did you figure out Boston University and UILUC are prestigious? Is there a website ranking them?
Thanks
Both are highly ranked schools.

Edurank will give you a decent idea.


For business schools I don’t think it gets a ton better than UIUC.
I like Boston cause it’s 30 credits vs UIUC’s 48

Program wise. It will be hard to find rankings that actually mean anything.
