This designation is given to programs that have been found to offer a high quality distance degree to a national audience at tuition rates well below the national average. Rankings are based on an average of tuition and fees from participating institutions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- Will my employer accept the MBA Online as a "real" degree? Yes, they'll probably be impressed with your diligence in fitting your education around your demanding lifestyle by using online education. The quality of the MBA Online program is administered by an Academic Affairs Committee made up of two MBA faculty and/or administrators from each of the participating campuses. All of the participating universities are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
- What is the cost of the program? Tuition and fees charged differs for each UT System campus as well as by residency status. As a result, the cost of taking a course in the MBAO program will vary depending on the host campus of the course and your residency status. Since the MBAO is a collaborative program, students will take two (3-hour) courses from each of the eight participating campuses to complete the 48 credit hour degree plan. Students are billed by each campus for courses. Links to campus tuition and fee information can be found on the cost & financial information page.
- What resources and activities will faculty use to provide students with experiences that are comparable to residency programs? Courses are designed to enhance interaction between faculty and students. Chat rooms, threaded discussions and email will be used to facilitate discussions. Team projects will be used to help students share their business experiences with each other as part of the learning process.
- Will I have to visit any of the participating campuses?
The MBA Online program is offered predominantly using the Internet, but may include supplemental materials such as video/audio tapes and CD-ROM. Students are not required to attend the campuses at any time. - How can I find more information?
Please contact the advisors for more information about the program.
