Universities Exporting M.B.A. Programs via the Internet - OTTO POHL, NY Times

If Jeremy Hallett had his way, he would be sitting on a leafy university campus in the United States with plenty of time to contemplate the theories of business. Instead, he spends hectic lunch hours and long evenings in his office cubicle here (London), earning his M.B.A. "It's not a perfect world," he says with a shrug. Driven by the mantra of globalization and enabled by Internet-based technologies, M.B.A. programs in the United States are expanding rapidly into new markets overseas.... Some of the universities are virtual, offering American degrees via the Internet. Mr. Hallett, a London-based senior vice president at Thomson Financial, is earning his M.B.A. from Cardean University, a newly created entity that exists only in cyberspace and markets a course package created by other institutions, including Stanford, Columbia and the University of Chicago.
