Methodology:
Data for the third annual Poets&Quants ranking of online MBA programs was gathered from both school and alumni surveys. The school survey asked for a wide variety of data points, from admission standards to global immersion trips. The alumni survey sought recent graduates' impressions on a range of topics, as well as whether the program fulfilled their expectations and whether they would recommend it to others. Alumni were surveyed between June and September of this year. In all, 8,381 alumni received the survey and 1,583 responded, for a total response rate of about 19%.
