A recent article in the FT refers to a new US-based online MBA and EMBA called Quantic. It seems to be the next project from some of the people behind the success of Rosetta Stone.
Any thoughts?

This is not an MBA. It's a bit of paper that says MBA. It's not a degree.

Hi Duncan - That's my assessment as well! I'm currently looking at Illinois, Wisconsin, BU and Macquarie. I like the "stackable" approach that Macquarie has taken, but I'm also thinking that a US degree, like the iMBA at Illinois, would be more meaningful here in the states. For context, I'm looking at working another 10 years and then "retiring" into teaching based on 30 years of consulting in leadership and innovation management. Cheers, Erik

Illinois is really solid. If you want something more flexible I would suggest the Harvard ALM.

It seems quantic has national accreditation by DEAC.
Still I wouldn't advise attending a school that doesn't have at minimum Regional Accreditation.
Even regional accreditation is usually not enough for the needs and goals of most people and they need a school with International Accreditation.
Especially for teaching in US, AACSB accreditation is pretty much the standard. (for business schools)
Depending on the level of teaching you aspire to do, maybe consider a phd?
One of the criteria of business school ranking is what percentage of their staff has phd, so they most definitely take it into consideration.

I think it really adds something to a PhD application :)
Of course, the best masters for getting into teaching would be an MRes or MPhil to get into the research in the topic you want to teach. Here in the UK, I know Manchester, Glasgow and Leicester are AACSB schools is distance learning research degrees (there will be others).
