Anyone have a recommendation for a legitimate MBA degree that can be taken online?

I have friends who have gotten degrees from the University of Liverpool. But checking their web site, the fee for an MBA is currently $34,000. Obviously, the value in getting an MBA will exceed $34,000, so although high priced it is not necessarily a bad value.

Now, on the low end, there is a program called Aspen University offering Masters degrees "for under $6,000" according to their Google Ad. Now, looking at their web site, it appears their MBA program consists of 11 courses, and courses are $900 each. But buried in the fine print is the detail that most courses are only $200 if purchased in advance, so that's significant savings.

There's a Canadian University called Athabasca U, which claims to have the world's first online MBA. Well, they're asking for $42,000 and I think part of the course is done in person at their campus. So I think I'll pass on that one.

Hmmm, not sure what I will do. Some of the MBA programs look appealing (MBA in Entrepreneurship for instance). But for $30,000-$50,000, I might be better off buying myself a small BMW.
