When getting my MBA, I found it easier for me to find the time to go to class than to make myself find time to do work online. It is up to your individual needs on how you go about deciding whether or not to go to class or log on and do your work. If you are discipline, then you should probably take your classes online. If your like me and enjoy the interaction the you should definitely go to take your classes the traditional way.
