Would you like to study an MBA in a pretigious school? Only a few people would say no. The main problem use to be the high cost and the time availability.

Distance MBA are usually an interesting alternative to the presence ones, with lower costs and the option to adjust schedules. Still many people think that these kind of masters don´t have the same quality and prestige than traditional ones. This idea is gradually being outdated and quality standards are being standardized between both presential and distance MBAs, providing the same added value without leaving home.

Economist Intelligence Unit presents a ranking with the top tem distance MBA´s around the world. The evaluation was done according to the contents, supporting material and the quality of the “pupils”. Here it is:

1.Warrington College of Business, Florida University (USA)

2.IESE Business School, Navarra University (Spain)

3.Warwick Business School (UK)

4.Curtin University (Australia)

5.Audencia School of Management, Nantes (France)

6.Henley Management College (UK)

7.Thunderbird School of Global Management (USA)

8.Manchester Business School (UK)

9.Open University (UK)

10.Bradford University of Management (UK)

Without any doubt, is an interesting alternative , but careful, don´t forget the disadvantages of distance studying. We must be aware of our limits before starting them, for an on line education willpower and dedication are required. Go on!!
