Online MBA Ranking | How Graduates Rate Their Programs For Learning Experience

by: Kristy Bleizeffer on December 16, 2024 | 2,255 Views

FORMAT SATISFACTION

This section includes responses to three survey questions focusing on program format: Level of satisfaction with the program’s synchronous (or live) sessions, satisfaction with the asynchronous content, and satisfaction with the program’s flexibility.

Many online MBA programs have a blend of synchronous classes (live online) with asynchronous recorded videos which students can watch on their own time. The two tables below show how alumni at each school rated their satisfaction with both aspects of their program.

Rate your level of satisfaction with the synchronous (live) sessions.

FLEXIBILITY

Flexibility in an online MBA program is fairly expected. But some schools are better at doing it than others, according to their recent grads.

This year, four alumni at four schools rated their satisfaction with the programs’ flexibility as perfect 10s: Hofstra University (Zarb), University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, University of Utah (Eccles) and Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Rate your satisfaction with the program’s flexibility.
