Capella.edu

I've got their MS in Information Security (active duty USAF) and recommend the school.

Auburn also has a on-line MBA. Not sure the price but it can't be beat/

If you're looking for a fall-back career I recommend getting your CFP (certified financial planner). I've got that as well and you can make a good living during the down times in the airline business.

I don't currently fly for the airlines but if I did I'd be at a fractional. Since I have no flight time past a commercial SE / Instrument SE. My 2nd career is going to be with Alpha Flying. No complaints here.

Good luck.
