Online innovation: COB online MBA program top in state, online graduate program ranked second in Michigan

University of Michigan-Dearborn’s College of Business (COB) has two of the country’s top online graduate programs, according to recent rankings by U.S. News & World Report. COB’s online MBA program is the top ranked program in the state—up a spot from last year—and 36 nationally. The college also ranks second in the state and 55 nationally for “Best Online Graduate Business Programs, Non-MBA.”

“We are thrilled to be recognized once again by U.S. News & World Report, as it highlights our commitment to both academic excellence and student success,” said Raju Balakrishnan, dean, COB. “The College of Business was an early proponent of the online MBA, and this ranking is evidence of the continued quality and innovation of our online programs.”

U.S. News & World Report based its most recent online graduate programs rankings on statistical data provided by the participating institutions and peer assessment.

The publication surveyed 255 online MBA programs and 141 non-MBA graduate programs for this year’s rankings. UM-Dearborn’s highest data category rankings for each program were for admissions selectivity and student engagement.
