One of the challenges online MBA students face is access to hands-on experience with real companies. Internships, on-site case studies and visits with executives not only give students the chance to experience corporate life, they also create valuable networking opportunities. Many MBA programs offer short residential programs to their online students in order to give them a similar experience to students who earn their MBA on campus. A residential program might consist of a one-to-two week mini-internship with a major company, a series of workshops conducted by business leaders, or participation in a group project with your fellow students. Prospective online MBA students should confirm that the online MBA program they're considering offers students the change to interact face-to-face with business leaders. Most online MBA programs offer basic information about these opportunities on their websites. To get more information, ask an admissions representative if there is a graduate of the program that you can speak with who can give you first-hand information about his or her experience with the residential programs.
