Distance Learning Closes the Gap - Mica Schneider, Business Week
Net-based enrollment is growing among professionals and execs, though finding the right program means doing more homework. Will McKendree is hoping to finish up an MBA from Indiana University's Kelley School of Business by August, 2005, and then earn a master's of finance the following year. The 26-year-old mid-Atlantic regional assistant for J Crew hopes the two degrees will make him more marketable as he moves up in the retail world. But unlike most MBAs-in-training, McKendree is attending lectures about 520 miles from his professors, in Indiana's Kelley Direct Online MBA program. Were it not for the Net, a master's would be out of reach for McKendree, whose bills include monthly payments on his BMW. "I can't afford to stop living the way I'm used to just go back to school," he says.
