Worcester Polytechnic Institute’s Master of Business Administration has been ranked among the top 50 in the county in a listing created by College Choice.
The college selection organization ranked WPI’s flex track MBA program 42nd in the nation in a list of online MBA programs. The MBA combines online and on-campus study. The program is set up with various core courses, specialized electives, and a required capstone project gives students the “freedom of educational exploration, as well as the discipline of putting that education into practice,” according to the organization.
The rankings were based on factors such as cost of attendance, each program’s reputation in its field, and return on investment. James Madison University, University of Nebraska Lincoln, University of Wisconsin Eau Claire, University of Tennessee Martin, and University of Mississippi occupy the top five spots on the list. UMass Amherst was the only other Massachusetts school to make the list, hitting tenth place for its MBA from the Isenberg School of Management.
