The LSU Flores MBA online program, which is less than two years old, is ranked No. 57 among all public colleges and universities in the country, and is No. 72 overall, in a new ranking by U.S. News & World Report released today.
“We’re thrilled that U.S. News & World Report recognized the continued growth and success of the online Flores MBA program,” Dana Hart, interim director of the program, says in a prepared statement issued this morning. “We officially launched this program in March 2013 and now, with more than 100 students enrolled, we look forward to building on our accomplishments and leveraging our excellent brand.”
Schools’ ranks were based on five general categories: student engagement, admissions selectivity, peer reputation, faculty credentials and training, and student services and technology. Three schools tied for the top-ranked online MBA program: Indiana University-Bloomington, Temple University in Philadelphia and University of North Carolina-Chapel HIll.
Because the ranking is new for the publication, it says the results and data are not comparable to those from previous online business rankings. See the complete rankings. As previously reported, LSU’s overall ranking in the 2015 edition of U.S. News & World Report‘s annual listing of the nation’s best colleges and universities improved six spots to No. 129.
