The Martin J. Whitman School of Management was prominently featured in The Princeton Review鈥檚 , and the program is ranked No. 21 among the Top 50 schools. In 2023, Whitman鈥檚 online MBA program was ranked No. 40.

The ranking is based on a combination of institutional and student survey data, including career outcomes, technological infrastructure, academic rigor, cost and affordability, among others. The survey also incorporates student opinions that The Princeton Review collected through its online MBA student survey and institutional data reported by administrators at the business schools. This year, the data reflects surveys of administrators at 165 business schools offering online MBAs and more than 10,700 online MBA students.

According to The Princeton Review, online MBA programs have become as rigorous as their on-campus counterparts. For many business school candidates, an online degree might even be the smarter choice. Online programs offer flexibility, affordability, access to innovative technologies, students from a diverse career backgrounds and global opportunities.

Here are some of the highlights of what Whitman students said:

• The online MBA program provides 鈥渁 solid educational and professional core,鈥� 鈥渙nline interaction with classmates and the professor鈥� and 鈥渇lexibility of an online format instead of going part time attending classroom lectures.鈥�
• The school also offers immersion events 鈥渟o that online students still have the opportunity to network with their peers.鈥� This makes them feel as though they are 鈥渁 part of the institution and not just a number.鈥�
• The majority of topics cover 鈥渃urrent business practices and can be applied to current business problems.鈥� While the amount of work can be 鈥渁 lot to manage,鈥� according to many students, 鈥渢he way the classes are laid out makes it very easy for students to access, since there are many different days and hours students are able to choose from to accommodate their own work schedules.鈥�
• The asynchronous and synchronous classes 鈥渁re often taught by two different people.鈥� This often 鈥渉elps students hear the same information in two different ways.鈥� Supplementary 鈥渞esources and videos鈥� are also provided as extra support.
• Discussions in class are 鈥渁lways thought-provoking鈥� due to classmates who are 鈥渄riven, intelligent and strive for excellence.鈥�

“We are very happy to once again have validation of our programs from an outside rankings organization. This continues our school鈥檚 upward trajectory for being recognized as providing a highly valuable educational experience,” says Alex McKelvie, interim dean of the Whitman School. “We also appreciate the comments on the student-focused part of our program. Whitman has continuously concentrated on the online students’ experience, and we appreciate them highlighting this aspect.”

鈥淭his is the second ranking survey where students have highlighted the academic experience we provide. Whitman achieved an overall ranking of No. 29 this fall in the Poets&Quants ranking of online MBA programs. Recent alumni ranked us No. 15 overall on academic experience. Of particular note was alumni satisfaction with live synchronous classes (ranked No. 10 nationally) and professor quality (ranked No. 7 nationally),鈥� says Amy McHale, assistant dean for graduate programs at Whitman.
