Are there any good graduate schools for MBA (not online schools) that will be respected in the world but are not hard to get in. I heard online schools are not good so no need to risk my future. It would be great if the school was a State school (tuition is cheaper) that offers distance learning? Thanks

You see it depends upon your needs and resources. If you are looking for an MBA degree at reasonable tuition fee, then there are many options to go for. I would like to clear your doubts, online education is the future and in the coming years they are expected to outdo the higher education enrollment. So, before taking any decision, you just have to chose for yourself and check with accreditation organization of the university.
What state are you from?
You should go to a MBA program that is accredited by The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). If you go to the following website, you can search for a program by state: http://www. aacsb. edu/accreditation/accreditedmembers. asp
Generally, if an MBA school is good, it is popular and hard to get into.
AACSB accreditation is the gold standard, but the fact is there are too many mediocre school even with AACSB accreditation.
Studies show only the top tier MBA school really make a significant difference in career earnings. Full-time attendance at a mediocre school is a definite losing proposition.
There is one exception to the AACSB and hard-to-get-into rule: Heriot-Watt University in Scotland offers a world class online (“external”) MBA that admits just about anybody. It’s a tough and thorough MBA.
Yes, if you have a 4. 0 GPA a GMAT score above 700 and 3-4 years good work experience you can easily get into an excellent MBA program. MBA programs accept students in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business background because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. I have taught MBA students with degrees in Music, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Psychology, Political Science, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, and many other fields. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree. , Some accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. But in those programs you don’t get the benefit of learning from other students who have work experience. A lot of valuable learning takes place through class interaction. Many accredited MBA schools now have distance learning programs.
Before you decide on an MBA program explore the Internet for information on available programs. There is a lot of information available. Some sites are limited to specific countries, such as Germany, UK, or Australia. There is a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. The nice thing is that it allows you to find the program that best fits you. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc. ), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc. ), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status (look for AACSB accreditation or at least AACSB membership), tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, joint degrees such as MBA/JD, and much more. You can use it to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre-applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. Some of the other sites are less comprehensive, but all are useful.
Consider applying to Charleston Southern University. We’re not well known “in the world” but are well-respected in our part of the country, and we’ve got outstanding faculty. We’re not a state school, but tuition is not much higher than in-state graduate programs in nearby state universities. Distance learning is available.
Our application process is not as strict as Harvard’s or Virginia’s. We are willing to consider your whole record of achievement, not just your test scores. There’s no guarantee that everybody will get in, but we are willing to take a chance on some people who might not be able to get into other universities. This might solve your problem.
