IE Business School Ranks Fourth in Princeton Review's 2017 "Top 25 Online MBA Programs"

It is the only non-US school included on the top 25 listing. This latest ranking follows that of the Financial Times this past March, which ranks IE Business School as first among Online MBAs for the third consecutive year in a row.

The IE Global MBA is a fifteen month program for professionals with ten years’ experience who would like to strengthen their business acumen and networks.  Through IE’s blended learning methodology, the program combines interactive online teaching via video conferences and debate forums with short face-to-face periods on the IE Business School campus in Madrid, Spain.  There is also an optional Global Immersion Week in an international location such as Shanghai, China.

The Princeton Review chose the schools for the list based on its surveys in 2016 of 90 institutions offering online MBAs and of about 3,800 students enrolled in the online MBAs, plus graduates of the online programs. Data points were weighted in more than 60 unique fields to tally the final list. Criteria focused on five areas: academics, selectivity, faculty, technical platforms, and career outcomes.  The list is the first ranking of online MBA programs that is based on both surveys of administrators at the schools and of students enrolled in the schools' online MBAs.

"We strongly recommend IE Business School as an outstanding choice for anyone considering an online MBA," said Robert Franek, Princeton Review Senior VP and Publisher. He also noted the deep satisfaction that the online students whom the company surveyed at all of 2017 top programs: "94% told us they believe their online MBA will have a positive impact on their careers."

IE Business School’s portfolio of blended programs includes the Global MBA, the Executive MBA and the IE/SMU MBA, a 10-month program focused on business strategies in the Asia Pacific region, run jointly with Singapore Management University. Moreover IE Business School runs the IE/Brown Executive MBA jointly with Ivy League member Brown University. The IE/Brown Executive MBA combines the experience and prestige of IE in the field of management with those of Brown in the fields of humanities and social sciences. IE also offers the Global Executive MBA, a program for top managers which combines onsite periods in Madrid, Singapore, Los Angeles and Sao Paulo, with online sessions.
