BusinessWeek: Half of U.S. Business Schools Might Be Gone by 2020

This holds true only if the big companies see online degrees the same as "in-person" degrees.  That transition will be slow....so I think they are probably right but ultimately it's more like 15-20 years.

Actually a lot of very reputable MBA programs already have hybrid options where you can take classes online OR in person.  The difference isn't noted on a transcript. 

And I think we are well beyond the point where there is skepticism of online programs if they are taught by reputable schools.  In fact there are some real advantages to taking a mix of classes online and in person.  It does model the modern workplace and how you interact with people.

Where you are first going to see the drop off are schools like Mount Mary and Lakeland - where the consumer is eventually going to see that those degrees don't give much of a benefit.
