2016 has just begun, but the MBA Online program at the David Eccles School of Business has already been ranked and recognized by two prestigious publications this year. Launched in Fall 2014, the program is in its first year of eligibility for rankings. Recently, CEO Magazine ranked the Eccles MBA Online program No. 7 worldwide and No. 2 in North America. Prior to that, U.S. News and World Report ranked the program No. 44 in the nation and No. 6 in the West.
“We are very pleased with the ranking of our MBA Online program, which helps students obtain a world-class MBA education regardless of their proximity to campus,” said Brad Vierig, associate dean of MBA programs and Executive Education at the David Eccles School of Business. “Our faculty create a rich learning environment that allows students to apply the lessons they learn in the classroom to the boardroom.”
The Eccles School now has three MBA programs recognized for excellence by CEO Magazine, with the Executive MBA and Full-Time MBA programs both designated “Tier I”.
“These rankings reflect the work of our dedicated faculty who ensure they prepare our students for what’s next in their careers,” said Taylor Randall, dean of the Eccles School.
The CEO Magazine ranking assessed 140 schools worldwide and was based on learning environment, class sizes, tuition, faculty, delivery methods, international diversity, gender make-up and more. For more information, visit www.ceo-mag.com
