Monday, November 3, 2014

Oklahoma State University’s online MBA program is one of the best in the world, reports Top Management Degrees in its recent release of the Top Online MBA Super Ranking 2014-2015. The online MBA program in OSU’s Watson Graduate School of Management is 15^th in the rankings, which combine the results of six of the most influential business school and MBA rankings from around the world to create the most comprehensive and holistic ranking of online MBA programs available. “OSU has been a leader in online education in general but we are particularly proud of our graduate programs in the Spears School of Business,” said Ramesh Sharda, vice dean of the Watson Graduate School of Management. “The online MBA program has served members of industry and military in achieving their dream of earning a high quality, rigorous MBA degree. We are proud of the accomplishments of our students and faculty.” In recent years OSU’s MBA program has been recognized for its excellence in a variety of rankings. A story by U.S. News & World Report in 2013 showed that OSU was one of only four schools in the United States in which 100 percent of the full-time MBA students received jobs within three months after graduation. Also, the program was ranked No. 10 as a Best Buy among the 139 competing online MBAs from AACSC-accredited business schools. The Top Management Degrees website states that “by bringing together MBA rankings from US News and World Report’s Online Business School Ranking, Get Educated’s AACSB-Accredited Online MBA Program Student Satisfaction Scores, Eduniversal’s Global Graduate Business School Rankings, The Economist’s MBA Ranking, The Financial Times Online MBA Ranking, and The QS Online MBA Ranking, the subjective and idiosyncratic elements of each publication’s methodology are smoothed out, providing a more accurate and stable picture of the online MBA program landscape. The ranking results of each publication were weighted the same to avoid interjecting our own subjective judgments about which ranking is better.” To view the complete list of the Top Online MBA Super Ranking (2014-15), go to the Top Management Degrees website.
