@1917souci Over the course of the 4 years, I would not say that the majority of business classes are online. I have a Gator in Finance and can say that through the first 2 years his business courses were mostly online. The introductory classes for each business discipline that all business majors are required to take are mostly online (Management, Marketing, Accounting, Finance, etc.). Once you get beyond those introductory classes and take the higher level courses, those are primarily traditional classroom courses. However, even in the online classes there are often group projects, peer reviewing of papers and other assignments that force students to interact with each other and develop some of those skills that you mention. Then, during the last two years the classes are mostly traditional format. Also, at least in Finance, an internship is required prior to graduation.

As you said, it is incumbent upon the student and the student’s parents to fully research the curriculum and overall program reputation before deciding which is the best fit. If someone just gets anecdotal feedback from a student in his/her first or second year, it will seem that all Business courses are online. If you don’t dig deeper, you will not realize that most of the last 2 years are traditional classroom format classes.
