Distance learning MBA programs

One year MBA program is a good option but many people interested in doing their MBA who don't feel like they can spend 2 years on it. But there is another new way of doing your MBA: distance learning! Here is some info I just found:

Many business schools have successfully adapted their existing MBA programs so that all or part of the course can be delivered at a local site, close to where the student lives and works. Schools combine a range of delivery methods to ensure that the content of the programs are taught in such a way that the remoteness of a student’s location is no obstacle to the academic and learning experience.

In some situations, schools establish regional teaching centres where certain elements of a program, such as seminars or keynote lectures, are delivered physically so that students can travel and experience this element of the program. In other cases, elements of the degree might be offered to students through their actual attendance at lectures or teaching elements at the institution itself, thus offering part of the fulltime teaching experience to these distant students.

Distance learning MBA programs are a plenty and prestigious schools like the Garvin School at Thunderbird, in the US, are offering students who for some reason can’t undertake a traditional classroom-based MBA the opportunity to gain the same qualification as a full-time on-campus student. Whatever your interests are, it’s almost certain you will find a reputable distance learning program that provides you with the tools you need to meet your professional and educational goals.
