I am an IT in the Coast Guard, and I am 12 credits shy of receiving my B. S. in General Business. My school is a small, bricks and mortar private business school (Nichols College), and I am using their online program to get my degree (I am stationed on a ship). Will this kill my chances at getting into a good MBA program? Also, can work experience while I am getting my undergrad (5 years of IT technical work and management) count towards work experience required to get into top schools? I want to go part-time. Thanks for your help.

Are you talking about Nichols State? In Louisiana? Technically the B-school should treat all accredited uni degrees equally. But in actuality they don’t. However, I think you could make a strong case for yourself in an interview (and in a cover letter). You are obviously committed and determined- two very valuable assets in an MBA program! And yes, you can use your experience to your advantage. You’re just going to have to sell yourself! Email me if you think I can help you with anything more specific. Good luck!
I agree with the first answer – it looks like you have a good reason for getting you degree online. Write a good cover letter explaining your situation.
