Cheapest accredited online MBA?

What's the cheapest accredited online MBA in the United States? I'm really looking for a piece of paper that means something; I really believe learning about business is what experience and online resources are for. My engineering degree, for example, only means that I know how to study. Most of what I know that's important I learned outside of the classroom, and I'm willing to bet an MBA will be quite the same.

Thanks.
 
No such thing. The most valuable experience in getting my MBA was the team project work, networking and teacher/student interaction. You would get none of those from an online curriculum.
 
online MBAs are heavily discounted in the real world. There are differences in what school you go to for engineering, just the same as there are differences for an MBA. To completely disregard that is to not understand the distribution of educational quality.
 
Get a real MBA if you want it to be worth anything on a resume
Read up on business cases/business profiles if you want to learn business for yourself

That list seems a little...shady.

University of Phoenix, Capella, Regis, and Devry are not very good schools.

Western Governors University I've heard pretty good things about (not on that list though). They are legit, and Regionally accredited (not just nationally like University of Phoenix and many others on that list)

WASTE OF MONEY

Jblowme online MBA will do nothing for your resume. That's like saying you'd rather go to a community college, because you can get MIT education online...

If you look a little deeper, I think you will find many of those "schools" are owned by the same company.
 
no such thing

I'm in my third MBA program (quit the first 2 because I felt they left a lot to be desired) & I can vouch that the true worth of a MBA program is determined by group projects, hands-on projects and networking.

I would argue that it hurts your resume. Shows that you're stupid enough to pay for something so worthless.

Just went through an interview where the people asked where I had gotten my MBA. I told them. They replied, "that's not a degree you got online is it, you actually had to go to a classroom for that right?"

Not only are they discounted if they are online, they are starting to ask about it because online MBA's are a joke. They are giving the MBA a bad stigma by giving every tom, dick and harry a piece of sheepskin that's actually meaningless.

Are any online worth anything?

Can you comment on the worth of face-to-face programs offered by Saint Leo University, the University of South Florida, or any other universities in the greater Tampa Bay area?
