I wasn’t having any luck with this post in the MBA forum so I thought I’d post it in here and try to get an answer. I have a question about my MBA addmissions, the degree I obtained was from an online school in Canada. I didn’t think this factor would matter as long the school holds credit, but I’ve been doing some reading and apparently this isn’t so. The school I graduated from is the first Canadian university to be awarded accreditation by one of the six higher education regional boards in the U.S. The accreditation was granted by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). Now will this hurt my chances of getting into a decent B-school like U of M Ross or a good Canadian B-school like U of T rotman or York U,Schulich because my degree was taken online even though it holds accreditation?
That’s a difficult question to answer. Your best option now is to contact the admissions office at one of the schools you list and to have a frank discussion with them.
Since your online school was regionally accred. like schools like BU, Notre Dame, etc an MBA program can’t really discriminate your online program. On the other hand your grades, gmats, recommendations will affect what mba prog you get into
