For students who don’t want to quit their jobs and need the flexibility to gain some sense of balance between their personal and professional lives.
But is an online M.B.A. degree actually worth it? Our own surveys of recent alumni of these programs show exceptionally high student satisfaction in online M.B.A.s, particularly as the best schools. At the top of the satisfaction curve, it’s common for more than half the students to attribute a raise or a promotion at work as a direct result of their online program. Even more surprising, 40% or more of the students say they have changed jobs entirely thanks to their online degrees (see Online M.B.A. Programs That Deliver Great Career Outcomes).
