- Instituto de Empresa - One of the world's top business schools is in Spain. They have an online program. This school's programs rank as high or higher than some of the Ivy League schools.
- Indiana University - Not to dwell on rankings, but this program is offered by the Kelley School of Business, which is one of the highest nationally ranked schools to offer a distance program. This is offered via IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis) although all the faculty teach in the MBA program at IU.
- Arizona State University - Offered via the W.P. Carey School of Business, which is quite well regarded.
- University of Florida - As mentioned in a previous post, you may need to make multiple visits to Gainesville. If you live in Florida maybe it's not such a big deal.
- Penn State University - The online program which is delivered through "WorldCampus" shares faculty with the full time program at the Smeal School of Business. My employer endows a chair there. Although referred to as the iMBA, it meets the requirements of my previous post.
- Thunderbird - The Thunderbird School of Global Management seems to be quite well known in the international business arena. In common with Instituto de Empresa, they are an independent business school. They don't confer undergraduate degrees, and they are not affiliated with a university.
- Babson - Well known in the entrepreneurship field, Babson offers a "Fast Track" MBA which is similar to the other programs; most can be completed in about 24 months. The residency experiences occur on campus in Massachusetts or Portland, Oregon.
- MIT - Offers up the Sloan School of Management curriculum for free, notes, lectures, etc. Sorry, no degrees conferred.

The Best Online MBA Programs I Could Find
After doing a lot of research on the various programs, I identified what I think are the top Online/Distance Education programs out there. I am excluding from this list distance education programs that require you to drive to a predetermined location and attend lectures via satellite or video conference. I also exclude distance/online EMBA programs. These are listed in no particular order. I will write up a little blurb on a subset of these later.
