https://thebestschools.org/rankings/best-online-mba-programs/

This list recognizes the outstanding achievements of faculty and administrators at colleges and universities across America, educators who have dedicated themselves making an online MBA feasible, affordable, and excellent for its distance learners.

"Online education has become more and more mainstream throughout America's colleges and universities. Yet doubts continue about its effectiveness in training students for practical fields such as business," notes James Barham, General Editor for TheBestSchools.org. "This ranking of America's 50 best online MBA programs gives the lie to that worry. Online business education, as this ranking shows, has come a long way, with online MBAs proving every bit as competitive in the business world as on-campus MBAs."

The MBA, or Master of Business Administration, is as practical degree as one can find. The skills gained from an MBA program serve one well throughout business, industry, and government. Covering a broad array of fields, including entrepreneurship, marketing, organization, finance, and accounting, an MBA prepares graduates to assume important leadership roles in the business world. The MBA is a terrific springboard for taking a career to the next level, and surveys indicate that most graduates with this degree are glad they got it.

TheBestSchools.org selected the degree programs for this ranking based on academic rigor, range of courses provided, faculty strength as well as school awards, reputation, and a proven track record of being able to deliver full-fledged online instruction. Because the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International) is committed to holding business programs at both the graduate and undergraduate level to the highest standards, all the schools in this ranking are accredited by the AACSB.
