For the second straight year, Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business has topped Poets&Quants’ ranking of the best online MBA programs in the U.S. It’s the third time the Kelley Direct MBA has topped the ranking in the seven years we’ve run it, also winning in 2021.
The win makes Kelley the most dominant program of the ranking so far. In fact, it is one of just two business schools to land in the top five in every single year of the ranking. Moreover, in 2021, P&Q named Kelley Direct our MBA Program of the Year, the first and only time the honor was awarded to an online program.
“Kelley Direct offers personal touches more common to full-time, residential programs. We are always looking for ways for students to connect with one another and with us, as if they were here on campus, learning in person full-time,” Will Geoghegan tells Poets&Quants. He is the Kelley Direct chair and a clinical associate professor of management and entrepreneurship.
“For example, we offer weekly virtual live class sessions, global and domestic immersions tailored to online MBA students, and career services and coaching specifically for advanced career professionals – program elements many other online MBA programs can’t or don’t replicate.”

POETS&QUANTS’ BEST ONLINE MBA PROGRAMS OF 2024
2024’s runner up, University of Washington Foster School of Business, shot up six spots to No. 2. The program debuted at No. 9 on our ranking in 2021, rising to No. 4 in 2022 before slipping to No. 8 last year. This is Foster’s highest finish so far.
University of Washington Foster School of Business – $93,000
Carnegie Mellon University Tepper School of Business – $146,916
Rice University Jones Graduate School of Business – $115,020
University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School – $125,589
University of Southern California Marshall School of Business – $125,723
Auburn University Raymond J. Harbert College of Business – $37,325
Foster scored higher than any other program in our academic experience category measured solely by our alumni survey. In other words: Foster alumni from the Class of 2023 speak more highly of their program than alumni from any other school on the ranking. In fact, Foster alumni gave the school the highest rating in 9 of 14 categories directly used in our methodology, ranging from quality of professors to applying lessons directly to their jobs. (You can see how 2023 alumni rated each school in every category in our academic experience data drop here.)
“We are honored to be recognized by Poets&Quants but mostly by our alumni. We strive to better their lives and it gives us such pride and motivation to continue. We know our graduates are out there bettering their communities and humanity through action,” Jodey Farwell tells Poets&Quants. She is director of Foster’s Hybrid MBA.
At No. 3, University of Texas at Dallas Naveen Jindal School of Management marked a sharp rise up the list for the second straight year. After debuting at No. 18 on our ranking for 2021, it slipped to 45 for 2022. It then rose 38 spots to No. 7 last year after alumni gave it particularly strong scores in both academic experience and career outcomes.
University of Michigan Ross School of Business came in at No. 4, the same rank as last year when it appeared on the ranking for the first time. Launched in 2019, Ross graduated its first cohort in 2021.
Finally, Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School of Business rounds out the top five. It is the second most dominant school on our ranking, winning outright in 2018 and 2020 and placing second three times. It has also ranked in the top five on all our previous lists.
While about 95% of the Hybrid MBA at University of Washington’s Foster School of Business is online through its live virtual classrooms, it has in-person immersions at the start of each quarter on its Seattle campus. Here, Foster students work in teams on class assignments during one such immersion. Courtesy photo
BIGGEST CLIMBERS AND DIVERS
Eight of the top ten programs from last year’s ranking made it into the top 10 for 2024. The two exceptions: Santa Clara University Leavey School of Business fell from No. 9 to No. 11 while University of Florida Warrington College of Business fell from No. 10 to No. 15. That left room for University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School and Auburn University Raymond J. Harbert College of Business to break into the top 10. Kenan-Flagler rose five spots while Auburn rose four.
Because our alumni survey accounts for two-thirds of the final score (used to calculate academic experience and career outcomes) there are still annual climbs and dives, especially at the middle of the ranking.
This year’s biggest climber is the University of Utah David Eccles School of Business which rose 16 spaces. Bryant University rose 15 spots while Hofstra University Frank G. Zarb School of Business rose 12.
At the other end, Kennesaw State University had the largest fall at 15 places. University of Maryland Robert H. Smith School of Business dropped 14 spots, largely because it was the only school that didn’t meet the 10% response threshold on its alumni survey. It had a 7.8% response rate, so it was given credit for 78% of each of its alumni scores.
2024 Rank | School | Final Score | YOY Change |

METHODOLOGY REMAINS UNCHANGED FROM LAST YEAR
P&Q’s ranking of online MBA programs has always been based on three equally weighted categories — admissions standards, academic experience, and career outcomes (see a full explanation of our methodology).
Admissions standards data is collected from a survey sent directly to schools – 51 schools to be exact. Academic experience and career outcomes data is gathered from an alumni survey. Both surveys took place between July and October 2023. This year, we surveyed alumni graduating between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023.
The methodology remained virtually identical to last year’s methodology, except for one change: We included alumni data from the previous two alumni classes, rather than just one, whenever it was available. The most recent data (Class of 2023) was weighted 50% of the alumni scores while data from the Classes of 2022 and 2021 were weighted 25% each. (Schools that did not previously participate and, hence, did not have alumni data, were given the same scores for all three years.)
While beneficial to our readers and the ranking itself, we’ve noticed the alumni survey can create wild swings if a single class of graduates was happy or unhappy. While there are still swings from the alumni survey, it helps cut down on the most dramatic shifts.
We also required a 10% response rate on the alumni surveys in order to get a statistically relevant result. Schools that don’t reach this threshold are not given full credit for their alumni scores.
Because our ranking is a composite of three categories, a school can technically win overall without topping any of the categories. That didn’t happen this year. Indiana Kelley (No. 1 overall) came in first in the admissions category for the third straight year. Kelley also placed second in academic experience and 10th in career outcomes.
In admissions, Kelley was followed by University of Texas at Dallas (Naveen Jindal) in second and Jack Welch Management Institute in third.
In career outcomes, calculated with the alumni survey, Santa Clara’s Leavey School had the highest score for the third straight year. Rice University (Jones) finished second followed by Michigan Ross.
In academic experience, also calculated with the alumni survey, University of Washington (Foster) (ranked No. 2 overall) came out on top followed by Indiana Kelley and William & Mary’s Raymond A. Mason School of Business.

DIRECT KELLEY’S OMBA DIFFERENTIATORS
At $88,320, Kelley’s online program should be considered a bargain considering what students get and compared to higher priced programs from legacy schools. In terms of price, it is sandwiched between two mid-ranked programs: American University Kogod School of Business (ranked 48th overall) is priced a smidge higher at $92,256 while University of Denver Daniels College of Business (ranked 30th overall) is priced a smidge less at $82,980. (Check out our full breakdown of tuition at all 51 ranked online MBA programs in our support stories package)
Kelley was also the most selective program in our ranking, with an acceptance rate of 28% – down 19% from last year’s 34.6% acceptance rate. It enrolled 453 students in all 2022-2023 intakes and had 591 Class of 2023 graduates.
Kelley developed its learning platform in house and uses its $10 million Jellison Studios to connect students to live classrooms with the same faculty that teach in its in-person MBA programs – including the schools last two deans. But if the hallmarks of a great online MBA (compared to a good one) are opportunities to get out of the virtual classroom, Kelley’s in-person immersive experiences set it apart.
First, there’s Kelley on Campus which brings all first-year students to Bloomington for a week of face-to-face learning, including a live case study with a real-world client. Kelley On Location in the program’s second year takes students on an industry deep-dive to various cities. In Chicago, for example, students learned how business intersects with the arts, and in Milwaukee they focused on the “Business of Fun.” In 2024, students will travel to New Orleans to learn about placemaking and the design of businesses that serve communities for the greater good. They will work on a community-focused service project and learn from local business leaders about their efforts to rebuild two decades after Hurricane Katrina.
Also in their second year, Kelley Direct students can choose from more than a dozen optional global and/or domestic trips. Past classes recently traveled to Ireland to study high performance organizations – including Google, Guinness and Meta – and to Greece, where they consulted with governmental officials repurposing the Olympic Athletic Center of Athens.
“Students also make connections through their involvement in student clubs and organizations – another unique feature of our program that most other schools don’t offer – which feature regular in-person meetups around the globe plus virtual professional development opportunities,” Geoghegan says.
TWO DECADES OF INNOVATION AT KELLEY
Indiana University was an early mover in the online MBA space. In 1999, when dial-up internet was still the norm, Kelley School of Business became the first top-ranked business school to offer an online MBA. Now it is gearing up to celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2024.
“Throughout our 25-year history, and in an ever increasingly competitive market, we’ve always worked to be at the forefront in online education, as acknowledged by numerous No. 1 rankings by Poets&Quants, U.S. News & World Report, and other measurements of success,” says Sarah Wanger, executive director of Kelley Direct Programs. “We believed then, and still do so today, that an online MBA should be delivered as a first-class preference and not a second-rate alternative.”
One recent innovation is the creation of its new course, Creating Inclusive Organizations, developed by Professor Carolyn Goerner. It offers a practice-based approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), fostering in-depth discussions in a supportive, small-class setting. And, in 2024, the program will introduce Kelley on Innovation, a new immersion opportunity focused on entrepreneurship. It is led by professors Greg Fisher and Regan Stevenson, part of Kelley’s award-winning entrepreneurship program.

AT FOSTER, AN ONLINE MBA BUILT ON CONNECTION
Foster has designed its Hybrid MBA around connection. It is a lockstep program with a small cohort that advances through the program together. While about 95% is online through its live virtual classrooms, it has in-person immersions at the start of each quarter on its Seattle campus. After a pandemic pause, it returned to making these immersions a requirement last year.
It also offers opportunities for company immersions, international study tours, and alumni and networking events.
“The deep friendships and collegiality we have at Foster are unique. We work together just like in the real world and this helps us to become stronger leaders. The time we share with one another during our quarterly immersions is something that attracted me to this program, and it delivers,” says Stewart Kerr, a Class 2024 online MBA student.

“The rigorous academics are taught by world-class professors that prioritize our education. The Foster Business Network, that I will forever be a part of, inspires daily. It’s refreshing.”
Foster faculty are actively working to create more relevant case studies to be used in classrooms this year, Farwell says. They will focus on current trends, diversity, climate change, sustainability, mental health and more.
“We will continue to focus on practical experiential learning and company engagement in our curriculum design. We are implementing more peer and team evaluations in our classes (Feedback Fruits) to maintain our focus on ethics, fairness, and conflict resolution,” she tells Poets&Quants.
“I am sure we will see AI also have a major impact on everything from recruiting/admissions, course curriculum, student services, professional development, to alumni management. It’s an exciting time for educational technology.”

A TROVE OF DATA FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
More than a ranking, we’ve always viewed this project as a massive data-gathering process for prospective students. So be sure to check out all of our supplementary articles digging into that data.
For example, of the more than 1,500 recent graduates to respond to this year’s survey from all schools, 40% reported earning a promotion directly because of their OMBA degree. Some 54% reported earning a salary increase. (See How Online MBA Grads Rated Their Degrees For Career Impact.)
No longer just a degree for upward mobility within your current company and career path, the OMBA has increasingly become an opportunity for individuals to pivot. This year, 33% of alumni reported changing employers, 20% reported changing industries, and 47% reported changing job functions. (See More Graduates Using Online MBAs To Pivot Careers).
Overall, alumni are generally happy with their degrees. When asked if they’d recommend their business programs to colleagues, friends, or family members, the average score was a 9.2 (10 would be a perfect score). (See How Online MBA Grads Rated Their Programs.)
