I did my bachelor's mostly brick and mortar with a little online mixed in. I did my MBA 100% online. The quality of education really is different. My bachelor's degree took way more work than my MBA. I finished my MBA in 18 months taking one class at a time (all my job would pay for) and I pretty much only did school work on Monday and Thursday nights. Unlike @SpecialEd, I didn't really care about the "quality" of education since I didn't need the degree to do my job, I just needed it to check the box on my resume for MBA and make me more eligible to promote past my current level. My program was cheap (free since my employer covered it), quick, and it was fairly easy, though I've always been able to coast through schooling. To each their own, but online education can be good or bad, it's all about what you make of it. In my entire college career I never once read a full chapter in a book, online or at a campus, so I'm not sure there's a ton of dofference.
