I am not considering a "terminal degree" at this point. I intend to finish my BS in May-June 2008. After that I might consider a Masters if I find the right program, but I have no intention of going beyond that.

I guess I'll ask now: is anyone familiar with an online MBA program with a "name" (like U Penn or Penn State or Florida State) that is nationally accredited, BUT allows for some flexibility about the time period? All of the big name MBA programs I looked at have set 1-year and 2-year programs with a large price tag. I am looking for one that I can take slowly enough to have my employer pay for most of it ($5250/year)

I know that a lot of people are going to ask "Why not CCU or Western Governor's" so I'll answer that ahead of time. To me, a 4-year degree from Excelsior College seems impressive enough for most jobs. If I am applying for a job that actually needs an MBA, I have a feeling that the name will matter. Please let me know why you disagree, though!

P.s. It looks like I'm going to be in your graduating class, cinderly
