AUBURN, Ala (EETV) - For a third consecutive year, Auburn University's Harbert College of Business Online MBA program is ranked among the top 10 in the nation.
On Monday, Oct. 14, Poets & Quants, a leader in online coverage of graduate business education, announced that the Online MBA program is No. 8 nationally for 2020.
“We give our students an outstanding transformational experience at a price that provides a very quick and high return on investment,” says Stan Harris, associate dean for graduate and international programs in the Harbert College of Business. “Perhaps most importantly, at $35,100, our online MBA is very competitively priced—consistent with Auburn University’s land-grant mission.”
Admission standards, MBA program experience and student outcomes are among the types of methodology used to determine the rankings. Admissions standards are based on school-reported data for students enrolling during the 2018-19 academic year. Data includes average undergraduate GPA, average work experience, acceptance rates and GMAT scores.
"There is not a one-sized MBA candidate. Each student has professional and personal demands that are unique to each, therefore it takes a suite of program offerings that create the best fit for the needs of each type of student," said Jim Parrish, the director of MBA programs in the Harbert College of Business.
When asked how Auburn's Online MBA program stands out Harris says, “We do not outsource our teaching. Auburn faculty who teach in our full-time program also teach in our online program. Unlike some other programs which simply use voice-over-PowerPoint or only assigned readings, our students see and hear faculty in front of a live MBA class or experience studio-produced content. They are with students throughout a course providing content and interaction."
