I worked in San Francisco for many years, and before U of P, the big local alternative university was Golden Gate University, which offered MBA and other programs after hours. At one large company I worked for -- an
insurance company -- nearly all the top management had gotten their MBAs from Golden Gate. These people had worked their way up within the company to a certain point with a bachelor's degree, and then had gotten the MBA to qualify for top jobs in the same company.
So I can pretty much say that, if you're looking to advance within the company you're currently with, a graduate degree from a correspondence university will probably be more than good enough. Because you also have the background in that specific company and way of doing business that is desirable.
Beyond that, I got nothin'.
