Hey, cool about the MBA! I done did that too, and it's worth it. Learned a lot of really useful stuff. Where are you going to get it?
Well considering I live in 50 miles from BFE I don't have a lot of choices. It is either online, or there is one program that is semi-local. I was an Economics major as an undergrad, and I was actually looking for a Masters in Economics online, but as best I can tell there isn't one.
Concordia University has a program of 1 weekend a month in a classroom (about 14 hours) about an hour away. I can get about 75% of the degree that way, and the remaining 25% I can get by traveling 2-1/2 hours to Portland to the main campus.
The other online options I see are
Marist College
Northeastern University
University of Texas (Dallas)
Mississippi State
Suffolk University
Drexel and Penn State both have online programs, but both also require a 1 week residency program once a semester or year. As much as I would like to meet Derek (a Drexel grad), I don't see how I could work out the cost of travel to Philly plus the time off once a year, on top of the time requirements and costs of a MBA anyway.
I figure Concordia, Marist, and Northeastern are the most likely options. All I have to do now is start studying for my GMAT's. The recurring nightmare, of walking into class totally unprepared with a mid-term on the agenda, has come back after 24 years. I have been pounding on my 16 year old to work on his PST study guide, and he always give me this "yeah right Dad, get a grip" kind of look. Now he is going to be able to pound on me to get to my homework done.
