OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Poets&Quants, the definitive online publication for business education news, has unveiled its 2021 ranking of The Best Online MBA Programs. Topping this year’s list as the #1 online MBA in the country is Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business.
In an extremely tight ranking, the delta between many ranked schools was small: The separation between 6th place and 10th place was less than 2 points, says Nathan Allen, Poets&Quants special projects editor, who manages the annual ranking.
“This years’ ranking was our most competitive online MBA ranking, with participation from 47 schools,” Allen says. “This is an increase from 35 schools in 2020 and 2019, and 25 in 2018.”
Key findings from surveys conducted to inform the ranking include a wide range of tuition prices, from Rogers State at $10,888 to Carnegie Mellon Tepper at $141,320. The 2021 ranking also includes the first non-U.S. online MBA program: Imperial College Business School.
