Some schools, including the disruptively priced $22,500 iMBA option at the University of Illinois, prefer not to be ranked (see Online MBA Rankings? No, Thank You, Says Gies). The number of schools participating in our ranking still remains small compared to the roughly 350 accredited online MBA options in the U.S. Also a record - every school met the minimum alumni response rate of 10% to have their alumni data included in our ranking calculations. Some 700 online MBA students at Kelley showed up on campus in August for the school’s “Kelley On Campus” immersion.įrom an initial cohort of 116 students in the University of Illinois Gies College of Business long-distance iMBA six years ago, there are now 4,608 students enrolled with expectations for reaching 5,000 by year-end. During the 2020 iMBA intake, 3,280 applicants poured in from all over the world as Gies processed a record 1,577 new online MBA students. The iMBA program alone went to 4,388 students from some 2,600.Ī record 52 schools were ranked this year, up from 47 a year ago and 35 the two years prior to that. Indiana Kelley, which now has 100 faculty teaching in its online programs across an online course catalog of 140 courses, received just under 3,000 applications and enrolled a record 732 long-distance students during its latest fall and spring intakes, up from 535 a year earlier. More and more top business schools are creating programs, and demand for those programs continues to be strong, with many schools reporting record enrollments during the pandemic. Overall, getting an MBA online continues to be highly popular.

The program suffering the steepest decline? George Washington University’s pricey $106,000 online MBA. Baylor University’s Hankamer School took eighth place, and the Jack Welch Management Institute surged ten spots into tenth. Rice University’s Jones Graduate School of Business debuted its relatively new program in seventh place. Three schools elbowed their way into the Top Ten this year.
Just two other online MBA options at Carnegie Mellon and Lehigh University have made the Top 10 each year. That is a remarkably consistent record of quality in a long-distance learning experience that Poets&Quants named MBA Program of the Year. Over the past five years during which Poets&Quants has ranked online MBA programs, however, Indiana Kelley is the only business school to land in the Top Five in every single year. ONLY ONE ONLINE MBA HAS RANKED IN THE TOP FIVE EVERY SINGLE YEAR
