The School's online Master of Business Administration is tied for 78th among more than 250 online MBA programs from across the country evaluated by U.S. News.
“We are delighted that our two-year-old online MBA has been recognized in U.S. News,” said Dr. Susan P. Gilbert, dean of the Stetson School of Business and Economics. “I know that our students have been pleased with the program, especially faculty quality and accessibility, equivalent to what they would expect in any of our programs. As the highest-ranked program from a private institution in Georgia, we provide a more individualized experience than what students receive from our larger peer schools.”
The publication's rankings evaluate schools based solely on data related to their online MBA programs. For the 2017 edition, programs were ranked using five categories: student engagement, admissions selectivity, peer reputation, faculty credentials and training, and student services technology.
