This is the only item I don't agree with. There is some negativity on these schools but it's laregy due to the students themselves. I'm a couple courses away from my MBA via Keller and I've had the opportunity to work directly with professors who have held key positions in the field taught at many fortune 100 companies. I've seen a lot of people in classes who pay their money and will never progress beyond where they are at. It's sad, but it's true. These schools provide opportunities (especially with the online and onsite flexibility) that traditional schools are just now starting to. In the end it's all about what the student does with the info they have the opportunity to learn. So many people expect shit with a degree, fuck that, go earn it.
