Your MBA on your schedule

2013-01-17

The appeal of online education is obvious, especially for working professionals: You need to maintain your job, you have personal and professional obligations that you can't keep if you return to school full-time, and an online degree gives you the flexibility and convenience to learn whenever you want, and wherever you are. Yet, not all programs are created equal, so it's important to put some time into evaluating an Online MBA.  You'll need to make sure that the program you invest in not only meets your immediate needs, but will continue to generate returns well beyond graduation.

Ranking Online MBA Programs

Rankings are a key part of that equation. U.S. News & World Report now publishes a numeric ranking for online programs, based on the following criteria: faculty credentials and training, student services and technology, student engagement, and admissions selectivity.  According to its own surveys of b-schools, U.S. News concluded that there are 213 online MBA programs offered this year. Of those, the W. P. Carey Online MBA was ranked No. 2 in the nation. Moreover, W. P. Carey was one of only three schools to rank in the top ten in multiple categories, and our peer reputation — the perception other schools have about us — was the fourth-highest in the country.
