Do people look down upon people who get their MBA online?
What are the advantages to each? Is an MBA(from an accredited school) just as prestigious as a full-time MBA degree from an accredited school?
I’m an in-class believer for the experience and went to a good 4-year university, I’m looking at my options and surprised Duke/Penn-state offer online degrees. Thoughts?
MBAs are the debased coin of the realm to start with, and now the proliferation of online MBAs has ruined the market even further.
It remains true that the only full-time MBAs that really pay off are Top Tier MBAs. Other MBAs — part-time and on-line — may add to the student’s "store of knowledge", but are cost-neutral only if the MBA fees are covered by the student’s employer.
Yes, even people who get their MBAs online from prestige schools go out of their way to conceal the fact that the MBA was earned online.

Universities grant the MBA, not a distance learning MBA or a full-time MBA, or Executive MBA. so it does not matter how you get the degree, but it matters from which school you get it. Some on-line programs have a reputation for being poor quality digree mills. Others are very reputable. AACSB accredited programs are known for quality. Clearly the education is more valuable if you can attend classes and interact with other MBA students, but not everyone has that choice.
Consult the Official MBA Guide. It’s a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. 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, etc), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their 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, and much more. You can use the Guide 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. It’s the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.

I don’t think that people look down upon people who get their MBA online. People go for online education only according to their convenience. But the main thing is online school should be very good.
I did my MBA at CalUniversity, which offers distance learning programs, admission’s counselors will make your education experience smoother and easier than you ever thought possible. You can take up any of the new courses among several Masters and Doctorate programs available.
