What Employers Think Of Online MBAs

U.S. News & World Report: “There was a time when an online MBA degree was met with some skepticism by both students and employers in comparison to its in-person counterpart. But that stigma is gone, thanks in large part to the COVID-19 pandemic pushing education online and leading to an increase in virtual and hybrid work, experts say.

“‘There has been a shift both for prospective students and for employers around understanding and accepting the online modality as just as legitimate, just as rigorous and — if I can dare to say this — providing more value than a full-time MBA where they need to be stopping out of the market and taking time off from work,’ says Sarah Wanger, assistant dean for graduate education at Indiana University, where she oversees MBA programs at the Kelley Schol of Business.

“As a result, the demand for online MBAs continues to increase, with data suggesting their popularity has grown since the pandemic. According to the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, 28% of MBA students during the 2023-2024 academic year were enrolled in online MBA programs, an increase from 25% from 2020-2021 through 2022-2023 and 14% in 2019-2020.”
