Fortune Education has ranked Lindenwood University's online MBA program as the top program in Missouri for the fourth consecutive year, the organization announced recently.

Nationally, Lindenwood came in at No. 30 this year.

Housing one of the top 100 programs in the nation, the Plaster College of Business and Entrepreneurship’s emphasis on real experience and real success continues to drive Lindenwood’s status as one of the best in the country.

This year’s national ranking mirrors the University’s 2023 mark. In 2022, Lindenwood was No. 51 in the nation. In 2021, it was No. 83. Lindenwood’s continued upward trend in the rankings is a testament to the University’s commitment and dedication to providing students with a top-notch educational experience that translates into career success.

Lindenwood's online MBA program stands out due to its offering of 11 different areas of emphasis, which provide students with a wide range of opportunities to study.

"An emphasis enables students to take a deep dive into a particular discipline, such as finance or marketing, without taking any more courses than needed for the general MBA," Professor of Management and Director of the MBA program Dr. Michael Marzano said. 'This enhances many students' job market and promotional opportunities, enabling some to switch careers.

"Students benefit from well-credentialed faculty members, many of whom hold doctoral degrees and certifications in their fields of study and practice."
