The Lindner College of Business Online MBA program has been named to CEO Magazine’s 2016 list of the world’s top MBA programs. 

CEO Magazine’s global MBA rankings are based on programs’ learning environments, class sizes, tuition fees, faculty, delivery methods, international diversity, gender make-up and more. The objective of the annual list is to identify the schools that best combine exceptional quality with great ROI. 

“The Lindner faculty and staff have worked extremely hard to continually enhance our online MBA experience,” says BJ Zirger, Associate Dean of Online Education at the Lindner College of Business. “Each year, we strive to improve both the quality of the curriculum and the return on investment for our students.” This is the first year the Lindner Online MBA has been ranked by the magazine, which launched its annual global rankings list in 2012. 


The Lindner Online MBA was recently ranked one of the Top 35 fully-online MBA programs in the United States by U.S. News & World Report. With the growth of the online program, Lindner finds itself ranked among other nationally-recognized programs such as Temple, Pepperdine, Massachusetts and Colorado. “This recognition by CEO Magazine is the latest in a growing list of accolades for the Lindner MBA program,” says Zirger. “With continued dedication to our online offerings, we hope to grow and improve upon these rankings even more in the future as we continue to provide our students with a top-tier educational online experience."
