What about Indiana's Kelley Direct online MBA? I would typically dismiss any kind of online degree, but Indiana's MBA is well-respected. I just don't know if that translates to it's "Direct" program, and how PhD AdComs would look at it. |
I should recommend you to seriously consider attending directly to PhD. UTD allows applicants to apply without a master's degree. And I know somebody who earned her MIS degree from UTD by not holding any masters prior to her acceptance.
