Reply to comment by Many-Perception-8285 in Anyone here have a MBA in business or finance from NJ schools that can tell me if its worth it? by Many-Perception-8285

I did half of my MBS online and it wasn't hard to network given the amount of resources, group projects, and events that the school attempted to give us. Its true that you won't get the same experience in person, but a good school will have mechanisms in place for you to have opportunities to network. It should be part of your requirements for a school should you decide to go.

yeah i want to and will look into that but are there any schools in NJ worth the MBA programs?

I doubt it will change the answer much, but when you say in NJ, where in NJ? Assumedly you will be doing SOME in person class work, so you don't want a school in south jersey if you live in Mahwah or the reverse.

I honestly wouldn't do a fully online one. I'd try and find one that does at least some in person nights or weekend stuff, or work something out with your employer if you can where you can swing a class or two during the week. I know i sound like an old fogey, but its a lot easier to forge meaningful connections that way, and its kind of fun going back to school.

I'm sure lots of the fully online ones have regular in person events and the like where that can happen, but you would want to do some research as to what the uptake on those are. If its just a weekly happy hour or something that the same 2 people show up to each week, it isn't going to do much for you.
