Best Affordable Online MBA Programs

If you’re looking for a ranked online MBA, a great place to start is the latest Poets&Quants ranking.

It’s worth noting, of course, that the cost of an online degree (in some cases) reflects the kind of experience a student may want. In other words: You get an online education with fewer bells and whistles. Rogers State University’s (No. 42 overall) $10,880 online MBA is 100% asynchronous with no live classes, virtual or otherwise. It doesn’t offer a capstone consulting project, international trips, or student clubs or organizations. But that’s exactly what its students want: 2023 alumni rated it a perfect 10 on the likelihood that they would recommend the program to others, the highest of our ranking. They gave the same rating to the responsiveness of professors, even though their relationships were built solely online.
