Extracted Content: We’ve written in the past about websites that produce fraudulent college rankings to make money from second-tier business schools desperate for students. There’s certainly no shortage of them in the modern-day Wild West that is the Internet.

According to its own methodology, the website claims that online MBA schools were ranked based on the percentage of alumni who hold executive-level jobs. Claiming its researchers evaluated alumni data from “hundreds of universities to rank the top 25 best online MBA programs,” the company’s calculations are apparently based on a perusal of LinkedIn profiles.
