The University of Houston - Clear Lake offered one of the few online MBA programs in 2010 when I applied to the college.

Although The University of Houston-Clear Lake caters to online students, the program is still difficult, as the job of learning is forced onto the student rather than the teacher.

Pros: A very diverse student base along with experienced professionals from all over the world help understand the subject. Professors are passionate and relate classroom academics to real world implications. Constant talk about current world events and how they play into our academics. Unlimited resources to expand your learning and career opportunities. Regular subject focused job fairs (for accountants, managers, health care pros, finance positions etc.) No spoon feeding from professors and exams... Read More are challenging. The very idea of a graduate/masters program.
