When I was thinking of going back to school I briefly entertained the idea of doing an online program, but in the end I don't think you can compete with the value of going to class and interacting with your peers and professors. I know that my program was very heavy on presentations and group work. Looking back now it was an invaluable experience for me.

No, Phoenix is not accredited by the AACSB (see link below). If the school doesn't require applicants to take the GMAT, then it's not accredited by the AACSB.
Employers essentially disregard degrees from these schools, because they know that if the student had the GMAT score to go to an accredited program, they would have. Phoenix, Strayer, and programs of this nature end up with students who couldn't get into the legitimate, accredited programs.
Accredited Programs.
