Thunderbird University in Arizona offers an distance-learning MBA that can be finished in 19-28 months. I like the program because it is focused on International Business and can be done while working full time. Another plus is my current employer will cover up to $10,000/year in education costs if I continue to work full time. So working while studying and getting some tuition help is a very attractive offer. I think scholarships would be limited and meeting professors or doing research would be tough but it would be great to get work experience and study at the same time. The program includes a week (with accomodation paid) in Arizona at the start of the program and two one-week international trips in the middle of the program, so you do get some international exposure. Thunderbird claims that the course is 75% online and 25% in class. I would do the 28 month option while working at Fidelity but I have begun to move away from this option towards an in-class option for an international one-year program.
