The Online MBA Program at George Mason University School of Business was recently ranked #73 among Best Online MBA Programs for 2023 by U.S. News & World Report. This year’s national ranking is the third consecutive increase and continues an upward climb that began with the online program’s inception in 2018, even before the global pandemic forced a pivot to distance learning among colleges and universities.
The program’s national ranking has climbed 50 spots since its first ranking in 2020, when it earned a rank of #123.
For the 2023 edition, U.S. News ranked online MBA programs according to five criteria: student and faculty engagement, peer assessment, faculty credentials and training, student excellence, and services and technologies.
“This leap reflects our commitment to offering a high-quality and rigorous online MBA Program that meets working professionals where they are,” says MBA Program Director Ioannis Bellos. “Although the program allows students to learn on their own schedules, Mason’s online MBA students have the opportunity to directly engage with expert faculty and dedicated staff who are invested in their success.”
Mason’s Online MBA Program also climbed 18 spots to claim #46 among Best Online MBA Programs for Veterans in the 2023 U.S. News & World Report rankings, up from #64 last year.
“One of our program’s biggest assets is our talented students, whose diverse backgrounds catalyze the transformative experience of getting an MBA at Mason,” says Bellos.
