For a second consecutive year, Lindenwood University’s online MBA has been ranked the top program in the state of Missouri by Fortune Education. Ranked in the top 100 nationwide, the Plaster College of Business and Entrepreneurship’s focus on real experience and academic course flexibility solidifies Lindenwood’s program as a nationwide standout.

“We set out to find online MBA degree programs that both prepare distance learners for the business world and launch them into good career paths,” said Fortune Education. Lindenwood’s increased enrollment is a testament to the value of the program and its ability to differentiate graduates in a competitive marketplace.

“We continue to add full time faculty, but also have a wealth of adjunct practitioners, who relish teaching. The online program enables students to participate in the program, outside of the St. Louis region,” said Professor of Management and Director of the MBA Program Michael Marzano. “There is no doubt that many of our current MBA students would not be here, if it were not for the online MBA program access. Flexibility for the student to complete the program without needing to commute to campus enables the student to travel (or business, to raise a family, and to focus on classes, when they have time to do so.”

As an ACBSP-accredited program, the degree is offered entirely online and allows for specialization in several areas including accounting, healthcare administration, marketing, and non-profit administration.

Applications for the online MBA program are currently being accepted for the start of the upcoming term.
