Consistent high rankings over three years and being listed along with top business schools in the nation demonstrate the high value proposition our MBA programs offer – highest quality of learning at an affordable cost.”

The Princeton Review chose the schools for the list based on its surveys in 2016-2017 of more than 75 institutions offering online MBAs and of about 4,300 students enrolled in the online MBAs programs. Data points were weighted in more than 60 unique fields to tally the final list. Criteria focused on five areas: academics, selectivity, faculty, technical platforms, and career outcomes.
