Some things that stood out from the article:
- UNC officials say that admissions standards for the new program are just as high as for an on-campus M.B.A.
- On paper, the online M.B.A. will be indistinct from the brick-and-mortar degree earned by students
- 2tor invested more than $10 million in the program. The start-up will receive a share of the tuition UNC receives from students for the 10-year life of the UNC contract.
So with a more stringent admissions policy, the "signalling" of this program will be tested in the recruiting of its graduates. It's hard to believe the alumni network will adjust to interacting with online-only students, it seems like the online community will create its own network and build from there. I wonder what the percentage royalty 2tor got for building the program?
Another top ranking school that offers distance MBA programs is Thunderbird School of Global Management. Thunderbird is highly ranked for many programs and has a well known reputation for being one of the best International Business Schools around. The nice thing about Thunderbird offering distance courses is that you can now earn a Thunderbird degree from anywhere in the world.
