Pros and Cons of Distance Learning - Yelena Andreyeva, St. Petersburg Times
With the incredibly busy schedule of most top managers who are living life in the fast lane, distance learning MBA programs have gained more and more popularity among students all over the world. Nevertheless, such a process of learning remains relatively unfamiliar in Russia – we seek to find out why. According to Sergei Fedorov, executive director at Open Business School, among 371 programs accredited by AMBA (Association of MBAs), there are only 21 distance learning programs provided in 15 business schools all over the world. In Russia, there are only three schools where distance learning programs, which normally last three to four years, are available; among them only the program at Open University Business School – MIM LINK has an international accreditation.
