AUM Online MBA recognized by Princeton Review
Auburn University at Montgomery’s College of Business has been named to The Princeton Review’s list of “2024 Best Online MBA Programs.”
The college’s Online MBA program was recognized based on a combination of institutional and student survey data, including admissions selectivity, career outcomes, faculty training and credentials, technological infrastructure, academic rigor, cost, affordability, and graduation and retention rates.
Colleges and schools featured on the Princeton Review’s list offer most of their program of study online. Over the years, business school applicants have come to rely on information from the annual rankings of “Best Online MBA Programs” to make the best education decisions, according to The Princeton Review.
As part of its methodology for ranking colleges and schools, the Princeton Review conducted an online MBA student survey to collect student opinions while institutional data was reported by business school administrators.
AUM’s College of Business has consistently earned placement on The Princeton Review’s list of “Best Business Schools” and has earned recognition from U.S. News & World Report for the quality of its programs. In 2021, the college’s Online MBA program was chosen by Fortune as one of the “Best Online MBA Programs” in the nation.
Additionally, AUM’s College of Business is among the top one percent of business schools internationally by virtue of its accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The college’s academic program areas include accounting, finance, general business, human resource management, information systems, management and marketing. Among the college’s points of distinction is the Artificial Intelligence Research Laboratory, the first facility of its kind nationally to be housed within a business school.
