Plenty of opportunities for net-working - Jennifer Sharples, the Telegraph

This year, 74 per cent of MBA programmes in the United States reported a significant decline in international applications to their universities, according to a Graduate Management Admission Council survey. This can be attributed to the current state of uncertainty in the world and more stringent US visa regulations. The good news, however, is that online business is thriving at schools such as the University of Massachusetts, which have seen enrolment on their distance learning MBAs double since 2003. There are more than 100 universities in America offering a variety of MBAs online - which means the US is still an attractive option for students who can afford it. Some courses combine face-to-face interaction and the all-important opportunity for networking with online delivery, which are popular with high fliers, whose companies usually sponsor their career development or offer corporate backing for the institutions involved.
