Hello... I am looking for a brick & mortar insitution (ex. Sate Universities, etc) that offers an online only (no residency requirement) MBA program. I would like it be a RA school with either AACSB (preffered) or ACBSP. Also, I would like it to be a "paper oriented" program, with little or no examination. I searched high and low... do programs like these exist or am I pushing to much?

University of Texas at Dallas has a Global MBA program that is 100% online. AACSB and no residency......but testing is required. http://som.utdallas.edu/globalmba/index.html I have not run across an AACSB program that doesn't require tests...doesn't mean they don't exist but I haven't run across them.
Check out Cameron University, they are ACBSP accredited and do not require any residency for the program. (not sure about the exam component though). http://www.cameron.edu
California State University, Dominguez Hills is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The School of Business and Public Administration is fully accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs. Last time I spoke to them they did not require exams, i.e. exams were only in the form of essays but please verify. http://mbaonline.csudh.edu
Check out TROY University in ALabama. they are ACBSP accredited and do not require any residency for the program. (not sure about the exam component though). WWW.troy.edu

Check this out- Morehead - http://www.morehead-st.edu/mba/ http://www.morehead-st.edu/mba/index.aspx?id=8774 "Our MBA program can be completed online via the Internet. Internet classes may be accessed from anywhere using our Blackboard course management system; all you need is a computer, an Internet connection, ... Our program is fully accredited by AACSB International, The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. AACSB International accrditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools, worldwide. Morehead State University is also accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Morehead State Univesity has also been recognized by U.S. News and World Report as one of the Top 25 Public Universities in the South.
Keep in mind that MBA programs require a lot of writing and most quizes/exams will require writing a paper. The only exception is perhaps accounting, finance, and statistics courses. I would also recommend Texas A&M University--Commerce especially since it is AACSB-certified and also reasonably priced.
