This ranking is a result of faculty, staff, students and community partners being committed to USD.”
The Princeton Review tallied its list of the top 50 online MBA programs based on its 2020-2021 survey of administrators and students at more than 130 business schools offering online MBAs. The criteria focused on five core areas: academics, selectivity, faculty, technical platforms and career outcomes.
“We are so proud of the Beacom School of Business for maintaining a top 20 ranking for seven years in a row,” said USD President Sheila K. Gestring. “Ranking among the best business schools from across the country proves that USD is a top-tier university that prioritizes flexible, high-quality and affordable education for its students.”
